FWIW - I downloaded today's (2/21/2013) build of Raring Ringtail 13.04
(raring-desktop-amd64.iso)

I was unable to boot with BIOS set to UEFI from either a DVD or USB
stick.  It boots to the initial screen of Try Ubuntu, Install Ubuntu,
etc.  Choosing any option or editing start parameters all result in the
screen blanking immediately and nothing further happens for the 30
minutes I let it sit.

It will boot normally with BIOS set to Legacy.  I was able to try Ubuntu
from the USB stick.  It installed normally from USB stick and
subsequently ran from HDD normally - I didn't spend any real time trying
to stress or break it, just opened several apps and used them without
any apparent problems.

I am happy with and willing to leave my BIOS set to Legacy and run the
machine in this mode.  I'm just reporting what is and isn't working.

If it's all the same to everyone watching this I would like to install
12.04LTS on the box to get it into normal daily use.  If further
information is needed I'll do my best to help out, it will take some
time though if I need to reinstall 12.10 or 13.04.

Thanks!
