Question #77535 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77535

    Status: Open => Needs information

actionparsnip requested for more information:
Can you please provide the output of:

sudo fdisk -l

Did you MD5 check the ISO you downloaded? Did you run the CD verifier
once initially booted to? Have you scanned your RAM for errors.

You could try disabling unnecessary hardware in BIOS like LAN, sound,
wifi etc (there may be more) to make the system bog basic.

If all else fails hit F6 on the first boot screen and choose some boot
options. This can help. You may need an extra module to get your drive
controllers working but it will depend on the controllers use in the
system.

Try those first and see how you go. We can go lower but its good to
cover the basics first.
