Okay Jeferson, 

Believe it or not, you and I have nearly identical systems.  I'm using an A7V Mobo 
with 512Meg of ram, and a TNT2 video card.  Our kernels, X and drivers appear to be 
very similar.  (I just installed Mdk 8.2, and the versions are identical or very 
close.)

What I found rather quickly was that the NVidia drivers suck big time. :) 

Go into the Mdk Control Panel, then into the X configuration, turn off the video 
acceleration.

This took care of the problem for me -- I've had my system up for a couple of weeks 
since I made this change.
