Hi,
Check your H/W config.You might be having < 256MB RAM.

Can you boot into Ubuntu from the CD? My best guess would be that the CD is defect.

yes i can boot it from the cd and i have 1gb of memory

So it recognises all your hardware. I would try burning a new CD. Set it to burn at a low speed to achieve maximal quality.

When the loading bar starts, press Ctrl+Alt+F8; after a few seconds, the screen should start filling up with text. What is the last text you see there?
