    Hello and Welcome.
    First of all, are you trying to run the DVD or install? You mentioned both.
    It could be a number of things. Did you burn the DVD yourself? If so, did you check the download for corruption? Did you verify the MD5sums?
    It could be a piece of hardware in your system that does not like Linux.
    I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

    Hello!
    I am tying to install it.I downloaded the file as *.iso format.And I think there's nothing wrong with the download.How can I however check MD5sums?Is there any hardware specification for linux installation?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    The installation discs for RHEL 6 and clones have a "verify device" option on installation to make sure that the CD/DVD was generated correctly by running checksums on all the packages and files. So, is the installation disc a live CD/DVD, a full installation disc (there are 2 DVDs for that), or a minimal install disc? The checksums are available for the ISOs on either the Red Hat site, or any mirror site.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
