reasons can be a bad CD(media) containing live-cd or memory problem.supposing that u cant get it installed.even in some cases the hdd too got problem.

try Ubuntu "alternate" CD.
YES.Ubuntu launchpad got answers for u:
Quote:
Well someone recommended using the command noapic but that did not work so when I did some research I found that if I use the command noapic acpi=off it will boot.
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/6407
that means when livecd first shows a CLI screen with ubuntu logo,enter below commands appended to the line
Code:
 noapic acpi=off
^ there is an option to list command mode.
