One possibility worth trying would be to boot off the rescue disk and leave it in the command line. Don't login or type anything and see if it still crashes. If it does you could be dealing with a dodgy power supply, otherwise apart from linux config probs it may be worth checking your Ram out.

Erm, Steve Flynn's reply was correct although I felt perhaps a bit brief and lacking in detail in case others are wondering and not sure how to do it. Firstly you'll need to insert your cds, and mount your cdrom ('mount /mnt/cdrom' probably -- you may need to be 'root' to do it.) Then
