I thought it was an isolated case but It happens too on my dad's laptop and
I quickly turn it off. It only happens when I execute the ubiquity
installer.
Buttom half of the LCD screen goes dead pixel, luckily my dad's laptop still
works!
Now I'm using a laptop, and have the latest feisty installed with a
low-latency kernel, I'm kinda nervious. I haven't tried installing through a
live-cd, I just dist-upgrade.

My dad's laptop is HP Compaq nc8430
Mine is Compaq Presario 1500 (not HP)
Both have ATI video cards.
