Unfortunately that is a condition known as "SimasiMac". There is more information on it here: http://www.biwa.ne.jp/~shamada/fullmac/repairEng.html#SimasiMac Try the simple fixes first (such as re-seating the RAM chips) but my SE/30 suffered from this and in the end it meant having to replace its logic board. Sadly, many SE/30's are thrown away after this happens because they are effectively "dead". The site does detail some repair proceedures that are very involved so read the information and decide what you wish to do. Matt -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
