Ok so I have a weird problem. I keep having my g4 either crash or whatever on me. Here is the scenario as it has occured many times to me in just the past week. I have my g4 sawtooth that has been upgraded to a owc 1.2ghz processor with 2 gigs of ram. it has a 500 gig hdd and a superdrive in it. so far the only thing that has not been upgraded is the video card. I thought i would do it but I think i might have to do this sooner than I planned. the problem happens rather frequently now so it is time to dedicate some serious time and money (if I have to) to fix this problem. I will turn on my computer and everything appears normal. except for the fact that my external hdd takes about a year and a half to mount on my desktop if it ever does decide to mount. now this is not the problem while allowing the computer to got to sleep on its own I will try to wake it and it will not wake up, well I shouldnt say it will not wake up because the mouse will appear on the screen but nothing else will show up. this is after the screensaver comes on though. while it "freezes" the mouse still appears and is moveable and controllable but nothing else is. I have waited sometimes even a day and a half. but still nothing. I have looked at the console log and the only thing that does not look like it should be there is this.

I remember reading something about someones rom version being up to date and reading their card rom version was a higher number than the rom version that mine displays in my hardware information. If this is something that can play a role in this scenario I will post more information regarding this. Other than that thank you to all that read this and PEACE. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
