Hi All, My wallstreet (266mhz, 512mb RAM) has managed to cling to a chronic problem of freezing only moments after startup (most of the time).
I say "Cling" to the problem, because it is still there after these steps to correct it: different hard drive. Reinstalled system folders. Modem board reinstalled. Hard drive caddy and connecting hardware (the plug-in to the hard drive that plugs into the logic board.) Different versions of system. (OS 9, 9.1, 9.2) Starting up from remote hard drive. Starting up from Norton Systemworks and running Norton Disk Doctor. Starting up with no extensions. Starting up with various other extension combinations. And probably some other things I've forgotten I did and probably repeated too. The thing that puzzles me the most is the first item I've tried. Surely a completely different hard drive would do it. Thoughtful logic would say the problem is within the logic board, or something in the computer that has remained the same throughout the process, thereby indicating a "hardware" problem. But which part? Should I now simply start changing the other components of the wallstreet? Thank God for my trusty old pb 1400-- never has given me a bit of trouble, is faster than the wallstreet (it has a nice upgraded CPU-- G3 466mhz) but, damn, that RAM limit...
