In my experience, the second DVD is for non-english languages and 
Clustering. If you didn't select any other languages other than the 
default installed and didn't opt to install clustering software 
packages, then you wouldn't need the second DVD (as far as I know anyway 
- I typically haven't needed the second DVD myself for plain desktop 
installations)

AMD chipsets should be fully supported.

The "system programs crashing and annoying sounds" may be something else 
entirely - of which there are many different possibilities.

Are you able to log into the machine and run some programs? Does the OS 
crash? What exactly is crashing?

A bit more details as to when or what crashes, preferably with some 
error messages if possible would be great for the community to be able 
to diagnose any issues :)
