I am fairly good at troubleshooting, but I'm at a loss on this one.
B&W G3 400; 768 RAM; 120 ATA HD; 

A few months ago I started getting random finder restarts. I thought it might be the 
drive starting to go, so I pulled the 18GB SCSI drive and card and replace with a 120 
gig ATA. Things went OK for a week and same thing started happening. Replaced drive 
under warranty. OK for a couple months and now same problems again. Apps randomly quit 
and then finder restarts. Drive checks out in DiskUtility, but permissions keep coming 
up messed up. Repair permissions shows same errors every time The drive seems 
physically fine, but something is awry.

Could it be hardware?

last night it conked out completely. Just spins on the apple screen at restart. When 
trying to reinstall system I get install failed error. ARRGGH!

any ideas?

Chris
