i think the problem is related to your monitor's hsync and vsync frequencies... but don't know how you can solve that

I think it must have any ways can solve it, because I have installed redhat8, red hat 9, Fedora2 succeed with the same computer!

i mean that probably the live cd uses wrong parameters but... really don't know. anyway, you can try with a different version of the live cd...
