Are you using the 64 bit editions or just the 32 bit ones? (You don't
say anywhere...)
Do you experiance the same problems with a live CD? If so, could be a
faulty motherboard and/or RAM (run memtest)

Hi
this is a trawl for info please:
Has anybody got an AMD84 running smoothly and reliably?
I've got an x2/3800 on an ASUS A8V MB. I've tried with SuSE10, SuSE10.1 (RCs),
FC5, Ubuntu. All have some problems, sometime
eg
on board AC97 sound not seen (recognised, configurable)
use a sound card, then the module get unloaded (!) reload
modprobe snd_ens1371
works for a bit.
ethernet card stops ethernetting. ifconfig looks good, but acts as if the
cable is out. POWERDOWN and all is OK again
System freezes. No keyboard, no mouse, no network, sound loops on what was
playing eg leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Happens with speedstep on and off, screensaver on and off, idle and in use
either AMD is not ready for prime time
ASUS is worse than expected
THIS MB is pregnant
