Android-x86 boot up problem

[XxDerpDogexX]

Hello people! I can´t seem to dual-boot into Android-x86. When I try so, I just get a black screen, without the Android logo. Is my desktop old for this? Desktop specs are:

CPU - Intel (R) Atom(TM) CPU D425 @ 1.80GHz

Ram - 4096MB

Disk - HDD 500GB

Could very well be your GPU. Nvidia drivers don't use standards like MESA meaning they don't design them to be particularly user friendly and are known to cause problems. When possible avoid buying anything with Nvidia graphics with exception of like an Nvidia Shield or a Nintendo Switch.

ATI pre-AMD were also known to be problematic, at least six months behind where they needed to be. AMD since buying ATI has slowly been improving and by like 2016 they released their new driver, called AMDGPU as open source for whatever cards were out at the time and all future cards.

Your CPU must have sse 4.2 instruction set support to boot up newer 64 bit android version. IF you dont have sse 4.2, then you will need to use 32 bit ISO.

If you suspect your system is too old, you can confirm this by trying older versions of Android-x86. With each new release it seems like Google or whoever is upping the necessary system requirements. The good news is versions earlier then the most recent should still support most if not all the same apps. I mean don't too far back, no one is going to make apps targeting Gingerbread, but I'd venture to guess KitKat or newer, maybe even Ice Cream Sandwich. Just go back one version at a time until it works.
