No. Lower resolution would not affect a monitor. Would this be the reason for the kp's, and is there any way of setting the resolution to a higher value before the kp. No. MOnitor settings would have nothign to do with the kp This sounds like hardware. Does it do this in safe mode? Mount it in FW target mode and see what the panic logs say. G'day, and thanks Bruce.

Sawtooth kernel panicking
G'day listers Further to the saga of the Sawtooth I donated to the neighbors kids I've managed to borrow a 21 monitor that fits the existing connector, just to check the graphics card, but now the sawtooth is kernel panicking after bootup. Sometimes it gets as far as the desktop before the kp. If it gets to the desktop, we get the spinning wheel and no mouseclick response. The boot screen and desktop are VERY large, and I suspect the kids have set the resolution to a quite low setting. Perhaps that's why the 17 monitor became defunct. Would this be the reason for the kp's, and is there any way of setting the resolution to a higher value before the kp. At least the Radeon 7000 card seems OK.
