Betty,
Start by telling us about this computer (Brand, Model, CPU, memory, and
video card or chip). It might also help to know HOW you tried to install
12.04. For example, did you use a LiveCD and if so, did it boot and work
Live? Or did you maybe select Install from the opening menu thereby
bypassing running it in Live mode. If you did manage to get to a command
prompt, try lshw -short to get some of that information.
Based on that kind of information, we have a better chance of helping. For
example, if it is a Toshiba laptop, it is likely that using apci=off,
noacpi, or nomodeset on the boot line will help
