See:

SIGNAL11
Yes -- I know that your system died with Signal 12 and that question
is talking about Signal 11, but it is applicable. Suspect your
hardware first. Do what you can to rule out hardware problems before
you do anything else.
You might want to try booting the install media in the 'No ACPI' mode.
If you're trying to install on a multi-processor nForce2 board, you
might need to disable apic and smp as well -- see

What ever you do, aim to upgrade to 5.2.1-RELEASE-pN as soon as
possible: 5.2 had some nasty bugs, which is why 5.2.1 was released.
Cheers,
Matthew
