.....you could be overheating your system...I had a DT G3 that overheated 
with 3 vidoe coards in it...had to remove the heat sink from the processor 
annd replace it with a heatsink/fan (pentium 2 style). Also, try reseating 
your RAM, proccessor, and expansion cards...are you sure you have the 
jumpers set correctly for the processor as well...my B&W locks up if I have 
my g4/450 clocked up at all because of overheating...wish I could tell you 
more but I have only been working with (newer) Macs for saabout 4 yrs and 
haven't had a lot of problems with them. Also, does your machine do this in 
9? More info would help pipoint the problem...
