14.04 repeatedly reboots when booting from USB

[Daniel Vielhaber]

System:
  MSI FM2-A55M-E33 board
  AMD A10-5800K CPU
  Team Elite 8GB 1600 RAM
  Kingston SV300S37A/120G SSD
  Western Digital WD10EZEX 1TB HDD

This is a new build and I am trying to install Ubuntu for the first time. When I boot from USB, it boots up normally and then reboots the whole system after about 3-5 seconds. It seems to take longer to reboot if I am moving the mouse around or using the keyboard, but even then, I can only make it 3 screens into the install before it reboots.

I cannot access terminal to run this command. The system reboots within a few second of booting up.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.16 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I'm not really sure how to do that but I don't think I can. The system reboots before I have time to really do anything. I can open terminal but it reboots after only a few seconds so I don't have time to do anything. This is a new computer so I dont have any OS on it at the moment. I am going to try to load 12.04 tonight.
