I'm having a bit of a problem while installing Ubuntu 12.04 on my PC. I have used both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of it but they both seem to freeze at around the same point during the install (both from a USB flash drive, I don't have a CD drive).
What happens is after selecting either install to hard disk or run from CD all the codes scroll down the screen right before the GUI loads, at [4.968597] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice the screen goes off for a second, then comes back on except it's frozen.
I can still turn on and off the Num Lock and Scroll Lock, but not Caps Lock. I have tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 but nothing happens.
This is all happening before the language selection.
Am I doing something wrong?
My PC is definitely powerful enough to run it. I have:
- Asus Crosshair V Formula
- AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (no overclocks)
- nVidia GTX550Ti (no overclocks) – I think this might be the problem, I
hope it isn't - 8GB Corsair Veangence LP 1600MHz DDR3
- Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 500GB (unplugged at the moment)
- Western Digital Scorpio Blue 7200RPM 500GB (using this one as main
HDD)

I think the .iso file of Ubuntu you downloaded is corrupted. You should choose "Check Bootable Media" option after booting during installation, to check whether the disk is perfect or not.
Check md5sum of downloaded .iso and match it with original .iso file. More information on using md5sum can be found here.
