I have been having this problem problem with both 8.1 and 9.04b releases. I put in the live cd and start it gets all the way to gnome and the crashes with a flashing caps lock and scroll lock. I have to perform a hard reset to restart the system.

My Specs:

MSI P965 NEO
Intel Core 2 Duo 4300
2 gigs of ram
Jmicron JMB36X drive controller
Intel ICH8 southbridge
ATi Radeon X1900XT
ACX111 wireless

Have you tried starting the LiveCD in safe graphics mode? I think you hit F4 on the menu.

Strange. If it were me I would try next with installing from the alternate CD. At least then you've got it installed on the HD, and if it still does the same thing you can get to a CLI and run updates, etc.
