    You may want to download the rescue ISO. Once it is on a CD, boot with
    it. I think "linux single" at the boot prompt may be usful. Once you
    are at a shell prompt, cd into the /var/log directory. Look at the last
    20 to 40 lines of the messages log file. You may want to report 'em here .

    If you are pushing the speed on the processor with the ASUS motherboard,
    then run in a certified speed. Marginal chips can fail when pushed.
    Take FC IS0 1 and boot with the memtest86 option. I accidently was
    pushing a memory chip once and didn't realize it. I used the memtest86
    stand alone disc to help find the problem. Once I swapped memory
    between two computers, the computer worked flawlessly.

    I am speculating that the installer is using less memory and working
    while a normal boot after install is using memory that could have
    problems. Viewing the logs using the rescue disk may help you sort out
    your problems.
