Will not boot from HD

[tste3576 at bellsouth.net]

I am a bit stumped at the moment. I attempted to install ubuntu on my PC but I can not complete the installation. The problem is during the phase where you are prompted to remove the CD and reboot. I did the following.

1. Removed the CD and selected continue
2. The system shutdown and began the reboot.
3. The system goes through the BIOS load
4. The system initiates the grub process.
5. The screen goes blank and stops.

I have tried the installation several times with the same result.

Any advice is appreciated.
