Ubuntu 12.10 installation problems

[lazer100]

I have tried to install Ubuntu 12.10, the 32 bit Desktop,

and the DVD doesnt function.


I get total chaos on the screen, with the text "Ubuntu" 
just about discernible.

then later I get a static image of chaos, then a blank screen,
then static image of chaos etc,


no opportunity is given to say supply boot options,

looks like both 12.10 and 12.04.2 dont function on this PC,


Ubuntu 8.10 functions on this same machine, 

I think this hasnt been betatested properly
