Yes I tried installing each distribution more than once with the same
results.

I just purchased a new machine and I have been having a very frustrating
time installing linux on it. I have tried installing ubuntu
workstation, ubuntu server and debian etch all without success but with
different failures. The machine is a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz with a Gigabyte
945GZ motherboard. It has 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 250 GB SATA hard disk and
a generic DVD RW combo. I am using the onboard video and LAN with an
additional network card in the box. Below are details of the errors
that I get. I don't know how to tell if this is a hardware
compatibility issue, broken hardware, bad CDs or the phase of the moon.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The thing, which I notice is that different distributions have
completely different problems.
Did you try to install the same distribution twice, at different times,
to see if the reported errors get reproduced? If they are different,
then I would suspect overheating.
Then, try to rule out shorts (such as a fallen screw) and overheating.
Then suspect defective motherboard and/or memory chips.
