Okay now problems seem to range far greater than video resolution, etc. 
I has been getting kernel panics since putting together this new system.

Asus A7N8X-X (bios is most recent)
Retail boxed Athalon 2600XP (BIOS says it's a 2300)
2 sticks Kingston DDR3200 512m Valueram
Adaptec 2940 UW SCSI
420 watt Enlight power supply
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9200 256m AGP 8X

This is a Debian Sarge system with all updates running kernel 2.4.24. I 
have installed memtest86+ and have not been able to complete a round of 
tests yet without one or more tests failing and ending in a kernel 
panic. I have tried bios settings of both "Resources Controlled By 
[ESCD/Manual]"  under PnP/PCI Configurations. Also have tried disabling 
APIC mode. Nothing seems to have changed behavior much. How sure can I 
be I have a memory problem at this point? Motherboard? Video card?

Thanks,

Jim Seymour
