Overclock could be too high, you might try the normal 400 MHz to begin with. You can't generally overclock the System bus to anything greater than the stock 66 MHz unless your motherboard had the faster Grackle chip, which normally only came on the early 233 MHz motherboards. You might also have a RAM issue, bad RAM or poorly seated RAM can cause freezes. Reseating everything rarely hurts and often helps. 9.2 isn't the best MacOS for the Beige. The Beige's personality cards used some special extensions that only worked up to OS 9.1, so 9.1 was the "final" version of MacOS that supported the Beige hardware. You can use 9.2.2, but you need to replace several of the extensions with older versions from 9.1 or earlier. As I remember, some that are necessary to replace are (final working versions listed): Sound Control Panel (???) ATI Graphics Accelerator v. 5.2.4 ATI Resource Manager v. 2.7.3 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
