[repeated with Subject line - apologies for duplication]

First time Linux user and first RH 7.3 install on a home PC (AMD XP 1700,
MSI-K7N420 motherboard with chipset nVIDIA nForce 420D) in dual boot with
Win2000 Prof (in PartitionMagic created freespace on a 60GB h/d).

When:

1) 'testing setting' during standard install from CD (with what looks like X
windows GUI screens!) - PC crashed (ie the screen blackened, the hard disk
stopped, no keyboard input whatsoever accepts);

2) running X configuration manually from command line and inputting custom
monitor data (since Hanson 710P is not listed) - PC crashed when 'probing';

3) after downloading and installing nVIDIA GLX, kernel and driver rpms as
suggested in:
http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86_40/1.0-2960/README.txt - PC still crashes
at the end of X configuration or at "startx", and the XFree86.log file is
empty...

What could it be?
