First off is the Via based motherboard, the onboard graphics has a bug with linux and may be confusing the Xorg driver (Basic linux video driver for all video cards) and causing a no boot. There is also an issue with AGP cards, esp if the linux kernel puts in a proprietary driver (non open source, ie nVidia, ATI), so again no boot to desktop.. And disconnect the Plextor drive until all is up and running.. Finally check everything for bad capacitors.. Try and older distro, I have just installed Lubuntu 10.10 on an AMD Geode LX800 which is running great with Chrome and Firefox... The latest nVidia Linux driver wont support any card below the GTX 400 series (borked a lot of my Steam OS systems)...
... No, if you boot to desktop first time round and everything works it should boot again with no issues. Have you installed one to a hard drive yet? Go through the normal 'troubleshoot' of a minimal install, ie one of everything. Linux is pretty good with hardware, unlike windows, so will tolerate bad ram and so forth. And boot using the ASUS drive, not the Lite-on USB... What is the make and wattage of the PSU?Would those "possible" issues cause a distro to boot one time, then not boot the next?
