Bug Description

I have just purchased a new PC with dual CPUs on the Gigabyte 965P motherboard.
Have installed Ubuntu 7.04 32 bit version. As I have yet to use this new PC, I thought I should try the 64 bit version. So my install attempt is over the top of the existing install.
The failure point is shortly after commencing install (selected start or install Kubuntu). Appears to be a display problem???, as the screen goes blank and my monitor indicator goes from green to amber.
Had tried installing 7.04 64bit Ubuntu as well, but it failed exactly at the same point as this Kubuntu 7.10.
I read somewhere that it is a problem with correctly recognising the 965P motherboard (thinks it is something else).

ok, ok - call me dumb.
finally got it to boot from safe graphics mode. But had to take this path a number of times before it would complete a successful installation. Keep getting a signal failure to the LCD monitor. The installation failed at various stages. Was stubborn enough to keep trying until finally got it.
My problem now is the screen resolution. Under monitor maintenance there is no mention of my monitor (BENQ FP92W), not can I get 1440x900 resolution.
