I withdraw all my previous comments. As I suspected, my case had nothing to do with either Compiz or ATI, but it had also nothing to do with Gutsy! I finally discovered that increasing "IDE drive strength" in the BIOS cured all my woes.
My system has been rockstable since doing that. By accident it seems like the drive I installed Gutsy on had more troubles with the too low "drive strenght" (whatever that might be) than my other disks. That is why Windows was stable, as was Feisty. I already replaced the disk but the new one had the same problem -but it also showed in windows since I created a FAT32 partition on it that I used in both OSs. Thats how i found out. any Asrock dual VSTA 775 owners with such trouble, try doing what I did (and don't update your BIOS beyond 1.3 or you will lose speedstep).
