Kernel panics on Asrock K7VT2.

[Zach]

This really sounds like a hardware problem including one (or more) of:
Heat problem
memory problem
power supply problem.

You might try booting from the livecd and running memtest.  Also you
might try, from the livecd, running folding at home (see the ubuntu wiki
for more info) to stress your system.
