I had a problem like that when I first tried running Linux on my LapTop. It
turned out to be a conflict of IRQ's and memory addresses. Especially with my
sound card. run "cat /proc/interrupts" to see what IRQ's you are using and also
try "cat /proc/ioports" to see if you have conflicts with memory addresses.
Good Luck
