magic 3.1 install problems

[reefer cheefer]

i just installed a magic 3.1 on a v5 ps2. when i start up the ps2 it goes to the whirling electrons screen, but the electrons freeze and the sound is distorted. the ps2 recognizes my originals, but when i try to load them, it restarts back to the browser screen. i havent tried backups yet. any help is appreciated.
