Caveat_Emptor

I have an old machine that had been running various Ubuntu and Lubuntu generations for a long time. I messed up the LVM partitions a few months ago, and am trying a fresh install.
I can boot into an installation disk with Lubuntu 16.04 (or 14.04), but when I attempt to boot into the Live distro or install, I get a machine check exception:
cpu 0 machine check exception 4 bank 1: etc.
Searching through the forums, folks suggest running a Memtest, which I am doing right now. All the memory is detected.
I will try taking out a memory module at a time.
Is this a hardware error, or should I be trying different boot parameters - unsure how to do that with a CD installation? Given I don't have a valid install on disk any more.
