Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end with this here. Beside me sits a graveyard of DVD's and CDs. My soul broken with constant attempts at trying to get 12.04 to install and it just will not. I have tried both the 64 bit and the 32 bit intsalls. I verified the MD5 hashes about 20 times over the course of this weekend; they're good.
I tried various media; three USB sticks, several DVDs and CDs and I constantly butt into this error. I just don't know what to do. I also tried Wubi from Windows, it does not work either.
Here's what's happening:
I pick this:

Everything seems fine and then I get to this screen:

I know this screen is not supposed to look like this. It's supposed to contain "try" and "install" options. Obviously, it does not. It also demonstrates odd behavior; I can not initially move the cursor around. After about a minute it lets me move it, the cursor for some reason turns into a text selection cursor and I can't click on anything. My only option is to reboot the machine.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated. My system specifications are below:
CPU: Intel i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz, 3400 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3
RAM: 16gb
Hard Drives: All western digital 2TB (x2), 1TB(x1); all are SATA 3.
Video Card: Evga nVidia GTX 580
Please let me know if I can provide any more information that would help you or others decide what might be wrong.
I am going to go console myself by baking something delicious and doughy. Hopefully once that's done someone will have replied!
EDIT:
I should also note that the live CD does not work. It's just a black screen. It is also worth noting that I tried an 11.10 live CD for fun and it worked absolutely flawlessly.
