UBUNTU 12.04 AMD 64 BIT (ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU         960  @ 3.20GHz
Nvidia GTX 580 x2 in SLI

I have the same problem. The installer language selection screen loads
(the one with the desktop in the background, NOT the initial one where
you set boot options etc), then the mouse gets really slow. Like
something is draining CPU power. Then eventually the mouse does move
smoothly again, but the GUI is completely locked. I can left click and
right click anywhere on the screen but nothing responds, not even the
notification icons on the top right. Keyboard does not respond at all.

Downloaded ISO and burned to CD and USB.  Booting from CD and USB does
exactly the same. Have tried downloading the ISO from different souces
as well with both having the same problem.

Currently running 11.10 x64 without any problems.

The hash does match with the hash on the UbuntuHashes page: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
128f0c16f4734c420b0185a492d92e52  ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso

Is there maybe something else I can try to provide a workaround? Maybe
setting some boot options? Or maybe some place where I can see the error
messages so I can post them too? I have tried CTRL + ALT + F1 etc but no
response. I have tried setting acpi to off (for what its worth) but then
it just gives a black screen with blinking cursor and never reaches the
installer's desktop.

Thanks
Steven
