I recently experienced some of the problems you are describing on a new install (unstable system, FC4 install crashing out at random point in the process). My problem turned out to be memory that was either bad or just wouldn't play nice with the MB.
I would suggest running memtest if you haven't already.

Because MPlayer doesn't use OpenGL vsync.

NVIDIA's drivers are auto-loading the GLX module. You either need Myth
0.18.1 (or below) compiled without OpenGL support or Myth 0.18-fixes or
SVN (which has a runtime setting in frontend settings to disable OpenGL
vsync). In a "short" time, though, upgrading to 0.19 will give you this
option (and 0.19 may be ready before your new hard drive arrives...
(fingers crossed) ;)
