Ok. Good. Now you know that some component not liking the higher speed (hopefully not that 450 CPU). This is typical for an overclocking situation. Companies put the cheapest parts possible into their computer. Why use a faster (more expensive) part, when the slower one works... Consumers then like to push the limits. Parts fail because of the faster clock or the additional heat. >At this point, I'd bee tempted to re-install the 450 CPU, set the >jumpers for IT to run at 300, and compare.

It might be that a PCI card or (more likely) one of the memory sticks is causing the problem. It could also be a heat issue... - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
