Yes, and note where you got the installation cd disks, or if you burned them yourself, what speed did you burn then at.
 
Especially note what your video card is, or if it is onboard video.

I did a little googling on this & it seems to be the on-board graphics.
If possible I would add an an AGP graphics card & get away from the on-board video.
Your system performance will also improve.
I know Mandrake has made changes from XFree to Xorg to handle the video & I have seen lots of info regarding errors with your type of setup.

I guess my first question is, if mandrake 10 is working, why upgrade to 10.1?
 
What computer magazine did you get the cd from? Often such disks are not full versions of Mandrake. How many disks are there?
 
You stated that you also tried another set, from where?
