What do you do to configure it manually. Did you edit the
/etc/network/interfaces file, or just type ifconfig eth0 ip netmask
netmask_addr.
When exactly does the system go blank. During startup if you changed
the above file I mentioned, or after using ifconfig?
Can you do anything when it goes blank, try switching consoles or
Ct-alt-del it. Or Is the system hard frozen?

DHCP seems like less of a problem as the system blanking when you try
to configure it. If the network card and module are working, you can
run dhclient anytime.
