I just downloaded 12.04 burned it to a cd, and booted to into it on my last built computer. It loads a purple screen, then goes to a dos looking screen with a blinking cursor then loads the ubuntu loader. The lights go from red to white and finally they all turn red. This is when the entire screen goes to noise and just hangs.

Seems like a hardware issue but I can successfully boot into a non genuine windows7 that I'm looking to replace.

I'm not sure what to try, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
