If you want to install; try the Alternate CD.
It could be a bad burn. Burn a new CD. Follow this guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto?highlight=%28burn%29%7C%28
Do md5sum, burn at 4x or less on CD-R, check CD integrity after burn and before install.
If all that fails; you can try your hand at some boot parameters:

Start with the most common ones:
noapic nolapic acpi=off irqpoll pci=noacpi pnpbios=off vga=0x317 vga=791 vga=771 vga=775

Good luck.
