Hello all,
I have recently bought some new goodies from newegg to build a home media server. I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu 12.04LTS (or any other version) to load.
I have tried loading from both DVD and USB {side note: I can't seem to make a USB image that passes the integrity test} and have had no luck.
I have integrity checked the DVD and ran the memory check. I have also sent for a replacement motherboard and the new one gives me the same problem.
The problem is: After selecting 'try ubuntu' or 'install ubuntu' from the initial menu, the resolution changes and the ubuntu loading page is shown, the screen will flicker a few times (display drivers loading?) while the progress dots move back and forth and then the computer will freeze with all of the progress dots orange and the dvd drive will wind down. This seems to always happen in the same place. I have tried loading without the messages hidden (don't remember the command) but I don't see any obvious error messages.
I'm not an expert on this, hence asking for help here. Where do I start?
Here are the hardware basics:

Thank you so much for any suggestions!
