boot-failure

I bought a brand new computer yesterday (Toshiba Satellite Pro L770-10T : Intel Core i5 2410M, 2,3 GHz, 4096 Mo RAM, nVidia GeForce GT 525M) that simply won't boot any livecd I tried.
I am using debian/ubuntu for a long time but this is the first time I can't boot a livecd

Here is what I tried without success:
Ubuntu 11.04 i386 and x64 both desktop and alternate
Debian stable livecd
old working ubuntu livecds including 8.x 9.x 10.x

On ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso I had a kernel panic
On 11.04 packages were corrupted although md5 and sha1 were correct

I must add that those were burned on different cds CD-R or CD-RW.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
