Trying to install mint on my PC, but I just get this error, then a few minutes of loading screen with the mint logo, and then it just reboots.

Fix your RAM

How did you figure that out? I'd have supposed something with the CPU (because it's the only thing I understand from the error messages …)

Well my 2 minute google search said that cpu 0 bank 5 most likely refers to ram x3

So.. it's either that or something wrong with the bios

Yank that stick of RAM. See if it boots.

If it boots, you found the problem.

If it doesn't boot? Try yanking a different stick of RAM.

Pull one at a time until it boots. Once it boots, you know you've pulled the bad one.

RAM is the DNS of hardware problems
