I've had similar symptoms from having a bad network card plugged in (actually, more than once...why do i keep buying linksys cards?) I wouldn't doubt that a flaky sound card or video card would do the same thing. Also, the KT7A is a VIA chipset, right? Are you using the correct VIA chipset driver in your kernel? I know that there are 2 to choose from, and chances are one of them will not like your computer. I don't remember what the symptoms were when I used the wrong one, though, and that really doesn't explain why Win2k also has installation issues... blah, am I beginning to ramble? I probably just need sleep. - Kremer
