Hi Gary;
Yes --- you got it!!! Front/Back --- Maybe push front, but not real
hard! It's a weird thing, you just need to experiment.

Thanks for your reply, Chuck.
Yes, I cleaned the CPU card contacts with an eraser. I'll go ahead and
give it a more thorough cleaning.
What do you mean by "MB socket"? Do you simply mean the socket into
which the card goes? If so, do you mean I should try to exert pressure
towards the back when I insert it, then - if that does not make any
difference - try pushing it a little more towards the front? I'm
certainly willing to try anything at this point.
Thanks, again.

Hi Gary;
One thing that I seem to be the only one to have noticed and
commented on --
The CPU card/ MB socket connection seems to NOT be the most
consistent thing in the world. I too have had consistent results with
a 'stock' CPU. The upgrade cards however seem to be prone to exhibit
DIFFERENT results based on which end of the MB socket the CPU card is
shoved towards as it's installed.
When nothing else works, It's worth a try.
(You have tried cleaning the CPU card edge contacts with an eraser,
haven't you?)

Hi, Listers.
I am currently deep in one of the worst cases of "black screen of
death" I've ever experienced. I'm at the end of my rope.

It's hard to believe a card or my RAM suddenly went bad when it had
been running so well before the last Tiger install attempt. Can any
of you offer any advice on other ways to reset whatever is holding
up the system from proceeding through the first few steps of a
reboot. Help!!!!
Thanks,
Gary
