I second this.. I learned this at some of my local linux user groups install
fests.. Sig11 is just about always hardware. And to make it more complicated,
the same machine will "work" under Windows..
This will be time consuming, but you might try pulling a device at a time and see what
happens.
( Obviously you can't pull the vid card, but maybe you can find a substitute.. ).
But as the first replyee said, RAM is a good suspect.
