I do not understand - Remix OS for PC

Hello everyone
I apologize for my English Approximate but I use google translation.
I come to you because I can not use a Remixos on my computers. Let it boot but remains on the Remixos screen or it crashes before. I used on 5 computers as x64 and x86 but nothing to do.
I really do not know or look. I would also install Remixos, ONLY on the hard drive of my Acer aspire one KAV10 but I do not know how ca too.
Could you help me?

There are various threads in the forum here that show how to install it to harddrive. If it is crashing before it boots, there is the possibility that you have some incompatible hardware. I understand that the team is trying to increase compatibility of different hardware. How new or old are your computers you are trying to test with? The Acer should work, but it depends on which image you downloaded and what architecture your acer is. My acer at home is only 32bit, so I didnt try with it as of yet. I did get my install of remixos to work on a dell 64bit desktop.
One thing i noticed was that at this stage of remix, it is not a friendly install method, and requires a bit of familiarity with different steps to make it work nicely. The first difficulty I had to get past was the graphics card. It meant I had to fix the grub boot line to include VGA=1440x900 for use with my monitor. The graphics card I have didnt want to play nicely with auto detection so I had to manually specify my resolution.

I tried on very old pc and recent and it's always the same thing. Only on very recent that it works

Exactly how you do to put its own specifications?

On the old PC i understand you can only use the 32 bit version. That being said, it may still not work. On the newest machine, if it works partially, then you may just need to set your resolution.

This can be a tricky task. The windows tool that sets up the USB i cannot speak for because I didnt use it. But if you have a linux installation, you will want to mount the usb and update the grub config. Grub2 is not as easily edited as original grub, but there are many howto's on the internet for how to configure grub2. Since this is linux at its root, using grub for remix is no different. You will want to mount the usb stick, edit grub2 config by adding a delay rather than an autoboot. You can either edit the grub2 line for the kernel by adding the VGA=<your resolution> (or use a web tutorial on how to use vesa), or you can set a timeout on grub entry, stop the timeout on boot, and edit the line withing the grub console.
I know this can sound intimidating, but in this case, editing grub2 is not unique to remix, it is a common to most distributions that use grub2. (most linux distributions dont require this type of difficult changing right at the beginning anymore thankfully, but it still happens like this from time to time).

Thank you for the clarification, as I'm not totally bi-lingual I passed next to some detail in the translation. Sorry.
I will try to manipulate the Grub2 but I'm not sure it works.
I want to install it on my Aspir one and my Hp stream7, Remix bones started when I press TAB to boot, otherwise it remains on the screen RemixOs.
When boot is slow and I can not use the browser.
If remixos does not yet work well is there an alternative solution? As Phenix bone or android? (Solution already used but without success may be due to lack of knowledge)
Thank you

finally after putting the resolution in the grub.cfg not change but instead I managed to boot on Guest Mode but not resident mode....

glad to hear! at this point you get to have fun! Are you using linux or windows as your primary OS, or is the disk blank on the systems you are using? I use linux, so what I chose to do is to create a separate partition on the disk and formatted it to ext4. I then copied the contents of the contents of the USB drive to that partition. I edited grub2 on my existing solution to include an entry to remix now copied on that partition. From there you need to specify (in the same place as the vga resolution on the kernel line) to: first create a new data.img file, and then on next boot to not do so. Like this:
1 boot into different OS - now copy files from usb to new partition, edit grub by adding entry to new partition, specify on kernel line: resolution, create data.img
2 now boot (without usb drive) to new remix partition, let it create the data.img, it will now give you a full desktop not in guest mode, reboot
3 boot into different OS and edit grub again and remove the kernel line to create data.img, reboot
4 boot into remix and enjoy!
Here are the forum link for grub editing I saved as reference:

this is what my grub entry looks like for remix: (in ubuntu, edit file /etc/grub.d/40_custom)

#!/bin/sh
exec tail -n +3 $0
# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries. Simply type the

# the 'exec tail' line above.
menuentry 'Remix OS' --class android-x86 {
insmod part_gpt
search --file --no-floppy --set=root /system.img
linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive CMDLINE vga=1600x900 DATA=/
