This is really getting to the point where I'm throwing things around my room, because I can't install Mandriva.

It just stops halfway through the install, everytime, without any provocation. This is my first OS on a system that I just finished building today.

System Specs:

3.0 Ghz Pentium 4 Prescott
ASUS P4P800E-Deluxe Mobo
1 Gig of Corsair RAM
SAMSUNG SpinPoint HDD
ATI AIW 9600 128 mg Card
Creative Labs Audigy 2
Sony Combo CD-R/RW/DVD-R Drive

I am seriously just about to slap windows on thsi PC, because this is getting increasingly annoying. I hope the makers of this uncompatible software.

Suggestions... Now...

boot failure after upgrading from RH9 to FC3

yeah, this is a common problem with these giant iso's. You should try to burn them at 4x or slower or try another Linux distro or windows to make sure the hardware is stable.
