Is this the first time you are trying Ubuntu? If not, did any previous
versions work properly? Check if you have the proper drivers in
xorg.conf for your motherboard on board graphics card
(http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=377&l1=3&l2=14&l3=149&l4=0).
I have used 6.06 since its release on the same system and if i remember correctly there was an issue with the live CD last time too and i had used alternate CD. But since than dapper had worked without any problem.

As regards the current situation with freeze-up/crashes and corrupted graphics....well since there was no solution on the horizon and since i saw no hope of a fix i decided to go by my hunch and........ i have just finished clean re-installation of  gutsy using alternate CD(ubuntu7.10-alternate-amd64)

And now i am trying it out and uptil now no freeze-up and no graphics corruption!!!hurray,,,happy days are back again!!!!!. 
i have not installed flash or java plug-in uptill now(which i suspect could have done something last time). I am going to be alert as to when the trouble starts this time(if it starts at all). i am keeping my fingers crossed.
