want help to install linux

["Heidi" <z2222348 student unsw edu au>]

Hi;
The version is Redhat 5.2
I think hardware is good.
My windows never crash,
the problem is when installing the packages, computer will died, sometimes a
red dark windows jump out.
And I find the number of cylinder, head do not match with BIOS setup.
I have tried change the config of BIOS setup, However, Computer still will
die when it is installing the package.
