nouveau READ FAULT errors when booting Ubuntu 15.04 install disc


I'm trying to install Ubuntu 15.04 on a functioning Windows machine. When I boot off the installation DVD, the screen clears purple, and then it clears black and I get something like

Code:
ACPI PCC probe failed
and then after that I get a series of messages that say something like

Code:
nouveau e[   PBUS][0000:0a:00.0] MMIO READ of 0x100200 FAULT at 0x418d60ff
The last ones gives a WRITE fault instead of a read fault. Most of the messages say "READ of 0x000000" rather than giving a nonzero address. After displaying about 15 of these messages, it pauses briefly, and then reboots, and cycles indefinitely through the above sequence.

This machine has an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450/40000 SDI according to Windows.

Anybody have any idea what this means?

Seems it was a hardware issue. Removing the extra video card (it had 2) got passed this problem, though other problems persist.
