    Ubuntu & any Linux distro not installing/booting

    So my most recent build is having some hiccups when it comes to installing or even booting into ubuntu, or any of linux distribution that i've tried. (fedora, backtrack 3, and a few others I forget)

    While trying to boot into Ubuntu I would simply get a black screen, and then a very random screen flickering of random colors.
    Using backtrack 3, I would simply get a "Something went wrong" and it would quit booting. I've tried all that I know and haven't gotten very far. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Here is my build.
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
    Mobo: Asus P5Q Deluxe
    GPU: Ati Radeon 4870, 1Gb
    Ram: 4Gb
    (If you think anything else/more specific would help just let me know)
