Product: G42-265LA
Operating System: Linux

Hi,

 

   I have a problem with this laptop. Since is old I wanted to install Linux (Ubuntu for example), but there is no way that will boot with a 64 Bits edition, having a Kernel Panic on the very start of the Live Pendrive installer. This is not happening with 32 Bits editions.

So, my questions is (and most because of the original Windows 7 32 bits edition installed): This laptop is 64 Bits capable? According to the CPU model should be possible to run 64 Bits OSes.

Thanks in advance.
