Did you do a checksum of the downloaded ISO images to verify that they 
are good?  Did you do a checksum of the discs after burning them?


http://ark.intel.com is down right now, but Amazon indicates that the 
Pentium E5300 processor is 64-bit.  So, Debian amd64 should work.


It would help if you provided the make and model of your computer or 
motherboard, and any expansion cards.
