I have been trying to install linux on my desktop, and every time i try to livetest, or install the os it simply stops working. So far i have tried linux mint, xUbuntu, Ubuntu, and even windows. every time i try to install the os it simply stops like this

It stops like this on every OS i try to install, and is starting to really frustrate me. Any Help is appreciated

P.S. The harddrive i have currently already has a 32 bit windows 7 on it, and i can boot to that and it works

Hardware Specs (as much as i can find)

dell inspiron 580 motherboard
i5 intel processor @3.2 ghz
2 Gigs of ram (this is temporary)
WDC Harddrive WD Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB

ok so i ran linux mint with nosplash and noquiet and i got this error

Hardware MCE is a "machine check error". Seems you may have bad RAM.. And it is causing a kernel panic. Ie causing Linux to crash

And maybe its not RAM, could be any of your hardware causing the crash.

Bad mobo, bad CPU...

Try add kernel parameter 'mce=3' to disable kernel panic on a MCE. (Note stable system is not guaranteed)

Well if windows doesn't boot then probably something else is wrong. Try different USB drive or different USB port.

Because it looks like Linux starts to load but encounters some kind of error..
Add "nosplash" to your kernel boot parameters and maybe you can see where it gets stuck
