Kernel Panics LawlessPPC

Hey everyone. Been on this forum many times but today i have a need to post. I am running LawlessPPC 10.5.4 on an AMD machine. All goes well except for when i un-zip a file using the built in zip (archive utility) or macpar deluxe, or going on to newsgroups. I can make the OS kernel panic on queue by doing one of these activities and for the life of me cannot figure out why. Ok now here are my computer specs:

AMD Phenom 9950
MSI K9A2 Platinum Motherboard
Corsair 4GB of Ram
Radeon 3650 Video Card
500GB Western Digital Drive
Samsung DVD Drive
Sony Blu-Ray Drive (Not seen by OS X, but i know why and thats totally ok)
Antec 850W power supply.

WHen i installed the LawlessPPC i checked only the drivers i needed and nothing more. I have no idea what kernel im using since i a) dont know how to find out and b) doesnt show you when you install the OS. I have also run the Universal Tools as well with no fix. Has anyone else seen this? Is it my hardware? Is it the OS? SHould i try another OS? Other than LawlessPPC, what have you guys found works great on an AMD Phenom? THanks a lot guys.
