Can you try a disk for 12.04.3? (http://old-
releases.ubuntu.com/releases/precise/) I had a similar issue, and found
it happened on Ubuntu 12.04.4 and later, as well as new versions of
Lubuntu, but not on Lubuntu 12.04. Tested Ubuntu 12.04.3, and it seems
to work. Im guessing it is something in the kernel upgrade that happened
12.04.3 -> 12.04.4. Hope this can help, I would love to get the
supported version of 12.04 running on my old sony vaio.

Title:
  [Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3] Unable to boot without workarounds

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  My system won't boot. As a side effect of using workaround 1 described
  below it detects only one CPU core and won't shut down completely, I
  have to hold power button for few seconds to power PC off. Tested F5g
  BIOS but no change.

  Upstream URL: http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=136069746628268&w=2

  WORKAROUND 1: Boot with acpi=off and nolapic.

  WORKAROUND 2: Turn off AMD C1E in the BIOS.

  According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI I tried booting it
  with acpi=ht (also with acpi=ht AND nolapic), but not to avail. Quote:
  'If acpi=off works and acpi=ht fails, then the issue is in the ACPI
  table parsing code itself, or perhaps the SMP code. '

  I will also attach files mentioned on the DebuggingACPI wiki page.
