Cheers Quentin,
thanks for your ever going helpfulness and compassion.
Hell, I'm running Linux based systems for less than a year now, so I 
know I still have to go through a lot of 'howto's', manuals, experience etc.
Also even if most distros (no matter in what flavour they come - .deb, 
.rpm based or whatever) are very similar in their underlying base 
system, differences ARE always encountered. Often very discrete and not 
really discernable for a noob like me. So resolving a problem in a 
certain way in a certain distro may not always be applicable to other 
distros.
Back to my problems, after having changed my MoBo, Graphics adapter (2 
times, first time changed for an old Matrox Mill. G550 Dual Head and now 
I'm back to an ATI RADEON 7000/VE-64 MB) I'm at leat capable to RUN the 
system at all. I have no more sudden reboots or other things like that 
and yes, I do have the latest BIOS for my board (which is NForce 2 
based). My audio card is a Delta 1010LT, which generally rocks the world ;)

The thing is, my actual PC was initially build on purpose with audio 
work in mind, but optimised for WinXP of course. The initial Mobo was a 
Gigabyte GA-7VRXP, which was a very smooth experience, until it died.
Now I have some cheap brand board (ASRock-sub brand of ASUS), and well,
it's evident that they didn't put the same care and attention in their 
building of boards as Gigabyte does/did i.e..
But I really don't have the funds atm to again change my hardware. I'm 
hit by a long term, untreatable sickness (which I don't want to 
elaborate upon here, it's not the right place), which leaves me really 
with very little money. So I have to make the best of what I have.

But I will get there, eventually.

Greetings from cold germany (snow starts falling already, which may be a 
sign of a long and cold winter here)
