<font size=3>Memory is set to autodetect. I think the board is
bad. But, given that the machine has been down for a week, I am buy
a replica of my old board and will play with this after I have a working
system. <br><br>

What exactly are the panic complaining about? Did you set the asus
<br>
board to use pc2100 memory, I could be set at pc2700 or even pc3200 as a
<br>
default. I would clear the cmos and restart from scratch and try
the <br>
installations again. I was going to suggest a chipset issue but you
<br>
said it's crashing on a fresh install as well. Sounds like it might
be <br>
a memory problem.<br><br>
