I too have encountered this problem, Hardware AMD A6-6400K APU dual core cpu MSI M'board - A88XM-E35 (FM2) 4gb Corsair value 1600mhz PNY 120GB SSD
This is a bizarre bug and I have changed RAM and reseated CPU as I thought it was hardware related. Anyhow following the advice above, I kept the mouse moving throughout the install and managed to get it installed fine, then reboot I then updated the grub as advised above to: "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noapic" then ran "sudo update-grub" But I still have the random reboot issues? Any other ideas? This has been a real headache to solve, I wonder how many boards have been returned as people wrongly assume this is hardware? Is it possible to upgrade the kernel to 3.16 manually?
