Have had a look in the BIOS and disabled a couple of options in the boot menu relating to EUFI and changed it to legacy but the machine will not even load Mint until I revert to the previous settings.
D I need KVM ? Can I get rid of this message ( Mint 15 boots up ok after this message appears) ie can I use the terminal to stop this message appearing ?

Have a look here (http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/FAQ)
& here http://askubuntu.com/questions/263179/get-rid-of-kvm-disabled-by-bios
But basically do this:-
Open a terminal
apt purge qemu-kvm
And the messages will disappear as if by magic.

# echo blacklist kvm >> /etc/modprobe.d/nokvm.conf
# echo blacklist kvm-amd >> /etc/modprobe.d/nokvm.conf
# echo blacklist kvm-intel >> /etc/modprobe.d/nokvm.conf
Or just ignore the message.

All I get from that is Package qemu is not installed, so not removed.
ejs,
Message I get after pasting first line in is, bash: /etc/modprobe.d/nokvm.conf: Permission denied.
Have tried the same instruction adding sudo echo blacklist kvm >> /etc/modprobe.d/nokvm.conf
but still the same message, I thought sudo would give me any necessary permissions ? please advise

you could also try opening synaptic and typing in kvm in the search box and see what is installed.

iPEX is network boot firmware. It supports a variety of network cards including some wireless cards (DHCP, BOOTP, and TFTP also HTTP, iscsi.)
It supports scripting.
This package contains PXE ROM's made espically to pxeboot KVM VM's.
All this is just meaningless to me, can I just uninstall it or follow ejs suggestion of using a text editor. ?
Thanks

But go ahead and try the text file.
do a
sudo nano <file name>
nano has on screen help to allow you to save/quit etc.

What I intend to do over the next few days is reinstall everything and start from scratch.
I am convinced the problem lies within the BIOS and it's something I am or am not doing. The layout appears(at least to me) more complicated than the BIOS of earlier motherboards.
To wind me up further Windows works fine with no problems.
