Freezing after rebooting

Hi there, yesterday I spoke to swarfendor and he reminded me that many hardware is built to support windows, that is why I paste here the specs from a computer, which is supposed to use by non professional, not advanced users. Everytime I reboot it frozes at the start up screen. The one that shows you the name of the motherboard or bios. I would like to know if this laptop is OK for running Zorin. I also set on Bios , regarding how to read HDD, IDE. ( I don't know if that has something to do)
