ReactOS The latest ReactOS Newsletter is out. "I've been assured by our release engineer that there are only 2 blocking issues left and that [0.3.1] will be released soon. That said, a kind user compiled the 0.3.1 branch and provided the isos for public trials here. I spoke with our project leader about future releases and he went on to say that future releases (0.3.x) will be made every month or 2."

"...a kind user compiled the 0.3.1 branch and provided the isos for public trials here..."
That probably means that the ISOs are not the real version 0.3.1, but only a preview (ie not official).

ReactOS devs may be already aware of these problems, or the bug may happen only on a few computers, like yours.
Instead of criticizing a not final version 0.3.1 (their website even say "alpha stage" and "not recommended for everyday use" for official releases ;) ), I would better test and report the results of my tests to their bug tracking system (it seems http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla )

I was able to install using the "install cd", but whenever I tried to set up networking (all under qemu) it would blue screen. Honestly, I've never seen a build of ReactOS that usable for anything, but I still keep hoping.
