encrypted drive shows non-moving progress bar, no passphrase prompt

[vacated1]

Hi...

New to this forum. I'm a Linux user, but not a super technical user.

I've installed Linux Lite 2.4 32 bit in the encrypted drive option. However, most(not all) attempts to boot produce a feather image over a creeping or not moving progress bar which doesn't reach the passphrase prompt. Sometimes manually turning it off and restarting brings up the passphrase prompt. I reinstalled thinking this the easiest solution, but no better. The same problem exists.

All internet searches have come up dry (if I searched right, that is). Any pointing in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
