you should try is burning the iso again but on a lower speed. sometimes bootable cds have trouble starting when burned at a higher speed

i think there is an option to boot into a safe mode or failsafe on the cd. boot into that and see if you still have this problem

if you have any other computers in you house try to load up the live cd. then we can find out if it is a problem with the cd or the computer. i

Sorry, only one PC. Although I did try Suse inux and it just reboots after I try to install it, same with the 6.06 version of Ubuntu. I am guessing it's a hardware problem. Thanks for all the help. :)
