Xandros 2.5 did the same thing on my parents computer during install. I assumed it was because xandros switched to a higher res. than the monitor could display, therefor making it turn off. Is your monitor old? What is it's max res? If you have another monitor, try using that and see what happens.

No, My monitor is like a year old. It is able to work on big resolution.

no its not intergraded.

But I had problems with installing madrake as well. I had to do noapic nolapic, and it does not work when I try to install it with noapic.

It must just conflict with the video card. Thats all i can think of. I guess i would just find another distro unless someone else can solve the problem.

Sorry I couldnt help.
