Why not run Apple Hardware Test yourself? If you didn't get the disc, you can download an image here: <http://www.info.apple.com/support/aht.html> I'm skeptical this is a bad Mac. I'd test the RAM very carefully. Once you know the RAM is good, place one stick into a slot and leave the others empty to test each slot individually. I've had "bad slots" where a "known good" stick of RAM would be flakey and lead to freezes and disk corruption if it was located in the bad slot. Once I quit using the bad slot, the computer was fine. I marked the bad slot with red permanent marker to remember not to use it. Often reseating EVERYTHING, meaning the CPU, Power Supply connectors, RAM, PCI cards, . . . anything else can solve these strange intermittent problems. But RAM seems most likely to me, unless the Apple Hardware Test locates something. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
