I just tried F14. It locked up too after a bit. I think it's hardware. At 
one point I got some funny very thin black vertical lines in one dialog box 
that popped up. Also the splash screen at system boot did the same thing but 
with horizontal lines then went away. The Asus Mobo I have is the P7P55 WS. 
This thing has a billion options to setup in the BIOS. I'm beging to think 
the video card is screwed.

I'm running the mobo's built in utility to see if can find a set of 
parameters that makes the system run stable. I really don't want to over 
clock the system but this is something else to try. I picked the least 
agressive setting I could find.
