I don't think that this symptom is a common problem with the G3 PowerBooks.
I used a Wallstreet for about 6 months, then a Pismo for about a year and
never had any unexpected freeze, never, ever. Your problem might still be
with the RAM you added. It might work most of the time, but when the
temperature raises, you might get to some threshold where the RAM will fail,
hence locking up the computer...
I suspected heat failed RAM too.... So I experimented with the old RAM only and the new RAM only and had freezes either way. I also experimented with switching RAM between the lower and upper slots and saw no difference. Interestingly, I did once get an error message saying the processor cache memory or something like that was malfunctioning. Of course, that is not an easy item to replace.
thanks again,
