When I try to boot Ubuntu 14.04 live CD or live 8GB USB made with unetbootin, whether 32-bit or 64-bit, I get these error messages:

Error Message

My computer specifications are:

  • HDD: 80GB IDE and 80GB SATA
  • Motherboard: ASUS P5VD2-MX SE
  • PSU: 480W
  • RAM: DDR2 2GB
  • Processor: Intel Pentium E2140 1.6 Ghz
  • Graphic Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS

I want to try Ubuntu before installing it to this computer.

What can I do to fix this?

  • What hardware are you using (make + model etc) - the second screenshot doesn't actually give much on that.

    did you have any errors with freezing on the previous OS? This really seems to be pointing to some sort of processor failure

  • Nope, all previous OS (Such Windows any version) has no problem.

That definitely looks like a hardware issue, and is somewhat unrelated to Linux. As your machine looks to be several years old, it could most likely be a problem with the power supply or the mainboard (capacitors are prone to fail after a while). If you have a spare power supply, I would recommend you try replacing your power supply with that.

It might also be related to the memory, or the BIOS. In How to diagnose and fix Kernel Panic Fatal Machine Check error?, the problem was fixed by switching the BIOS boot mode to UEFI OS from UEFI and CSM OS. I would try that suggestion first.
