I've had the same problem. The screen goes blank and the machine hangs. I've got an Asus 200MHz PentiumPro, Diamond 3400XL and Adaptec 2940. My solution was to load the Beta 2 drivers. I had to do the same with the SoundBlaster drivers. It's a bit sad that these drivers got broken between beta and release. Worse still, Microsoft in the U.K are demanding �150 for technical support. You're on you own mate.
