Trouble when trying to boot

Hi,
I just got my RasPi and I'm trying to boot it up.
I downloaded the Debian Squeeze(Most recent One) from the downloads section here. I then mounted it onto a 8GB PNY(the brand) class 4 SDHC card with win32diskimager. It wrote successfully.
I then connected my mouse, keyboard, monitor(RCA, the yellow jack) and my charger, with the right specs.
The Pi booted and went through a bunch of code/text very fast, but stopped after about 20 seconds.
The last line was
"Code: e1a0c00d e92dd800 e24cb004 e5903128 (e5130004)"
I figured it might be a first time boot thing, so I left it alone for awhile.
AFter about 30/40 minutes I came back and it was still like that so I unplugged the power and then plugged it back in, and it booted the same way.

Does anyone know what the problem is or how I could fix this?
I tried a Google search but nothing that I could understand came up.

Thanks!

And also, I have ethernet plugged in, and have also tried connecting with HMDI.
And, all the lights on the Pi turn on

Probably the image you downloaded was corrupt, or something went wrong while burning the card.
Simply try again,

Also note that after a successful first boot you must shutdown cleanly, or the changes made to the SD-card content might not be actually written back to the card, and in worst case the card image may become damaged, so a next boot will fail!

shutdown with "shutdown -h now" from the command line, or use the GUI shutdown.

I checked using the sha1 hashes, and they matched.
It doesn't go far enough to use the command line or to use the startx command.

I've tried with both squeeze and raspbmc, and they give the same code. But with raspbmc it sometimes freezes before it can get there.

Thank you for responding!!!!

YES!
Just got OpenElec To work
I used the most recent version (From http://www.kvarley.co.uk/raspberrypi/openelec/ ) and it worked, first try.

Still haven't gotten anything past the code part for the other images though.
