Elementary freezes at logo upon installation

[campbellsam97]

I'm using a USB as my medium of installing Elementary OS and whenever I try to install it or just try it without installing, it simply freezes at the pulsating "e" logo. Is this a known issue?

how did you make the usb? i suggest unetbootin.
what version of eos? 12lts is nice, but the beta 14lts is just as usable.

I used unetbootin, and the release with 20130810 in it's name, I'm not sure what version that is. Also when I am selecting the boot option I'm offered, "UEFI: USB" and "USB", neither work at the moment but for future reference, which should I select?

It's elementary OS Luna your are trying to boot, it's quite old and does not support a pc with UEFI
elementary will be supporting UEFI from Freya beta2 and on, as I understand it.
If your pc has UEFI, you could try my mini howto here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215789&page=6&p=13193822#post13193822) and see if it works for you :)
Ps.
Please let us have your hardware specs too, makes it much easier to troubleshoot.
