First, verify that the software that is installed is not corrupt.
Do this in a shell, as root (use "su -" not "su" if you don't login as 
root):

( rpm -Va 2>&1 ) | tee rpmVa
or
rpm -Va > rpmVa 2>&1

and then examine the file rpmVa for files that have changed. There will 
always be some, devices, some files in /etc, and so on, but pay 
particular attention to *anything* in /sbin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, 
etc....

However, I'm guessing that you have hardware issues, just based upon 
experience with this sort of thing.  One thing you could tell us is what 
the output from dmesg is after startup; knowing the hardware could help 
- it's entirely possible that it's a strange or weird network card and 
ssh just triggers a bug in the driver.
