Some updated:
I updated the Kernel to 2.6.35-RC1 (via here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-rc1-lucid/, but be very careful, the 173 drivers from nvidia does not work with this card and I can only use Nouveau, if anyone know anything I'd love to hear...)
The problem still exists (Loading the kernel without acpi=off or noapic makes my computer freeze after a minute or 2, first I cannot use the keyboard, then the mouse and then the load monitor stays still)
So I added them one by one just to find the following conclusions:

Now my problem divides in 2:
1. acpi=off - Everything loads fine and all my keyboard keys are working perfect, the computer won't freeze at all and I can work for hours - much slower, apparently when I use that function one of my CPUs is gone and I use 1300 MHz instead of 2.6 GHz

2. noapic - The computer works fine (almost), no freezes whatsoever and I get my 2 CPUs working, everything is just peachy until I press the Print Screen/SysRq key, then there are 2 options: My keyboard stops working, or my computer halts immediately and restarts or shuts down (the reason I discovered it is the reason I accidently pressed it instead of pressing backspace)
My MacGyver senses guided me into the perfect solution: taking the button out! and now the key is just sitting infront of me, waiting for this bug to be fixed

If you ignore this but just think about the poor little fella' (my Print Screen key) what was pulled out with no mercy and now he is sitting on my desk with no love or friends (although I heard that his wife - the scroll lock key, has cheated on him some times)

Anyways thank you all and I hope we will get to a soultion soon
My motherboard is ASUS P48X-X and my graphics card is GeForce FX 5400 (NV34)

If more info is needed about my system I'd love to add to this discussion

Kind regards,
