Q4OS restarting on i686

Hello!

I installed Q4OS 32bit Trinity on an old pc, but system constantly restarted and demanded logging.

My machine:
Processor:    2x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz
Memory:    2051MB (919MB used)
OpenGL Renderer:    Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965Q x86/MMX/SSE2
VGA compatible controller:    Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Does someone ran up similar problems? Do you have any tips or should I rather describe this problem on Debian forum?

Re: Q4OS restarting on i686

Is your install a fresh one?
Since you can at least see memory usage (you report 919MB used), your system does not restart automatically as soon as you see the login screen; you are at least able to login, aren't you? what does happen then? do you have any interaction with your laptop?

Re: Q4OS restarting on i686

Why are you running 32bit Q4OS when you're system is clearly 64bit?  I would try the 64bit Q4OS using live session and see what happens.
I've seen issues running 32bit OS on 64bit systems at times.

Is there any other hardware you didn't mention like a separate integrated graphics card other than the Intel one? More than likely its a driver issue but try the live session with the 64bit version and see what happens.
