I bought a MDD 1.25 single processor machine to replace the a QS 867. I swapped the 160Gb HDD from the QS for the 80Gb drive in the MDD, added 1.5Gb of used RAM. I have had the OS crash, Safari crash, Skype loose port settings.
When I initially installed the RAM system profiler only showed 2 of the 3 sticks I had installed. I pulled one only to discover it was the wrong one. I then pulled the problem one, swapped it to the open slot and put the one I had removed in the problem ones slot. After that all sticks showed up on system profiler. Next I removed the RAM stick from the slot that initially didn't show up. Safari still crashed. Then I removed the RAM stick that was in the offending slot originally, Safari Crashed while simply sitting there open. I then removed the last stick of "new"(used) RAM and tried again, similar results. So next I shut it down, removed the USB PCI card, restarted and opened Safari. The yahoo home page shows news items and moves from one to the next. I moved the cursor to one that it had already passed to read the description. when I went to move on I found that everything was frozen no mouse or keyboard input at all. I disconnected the USB hub and plugged the mouse directly to the computer, no change. The keyboard was already direct to the computer. I unplugged an reinserted both items with no results then gave up and held the power button till it shut down. What the heck is going on with this thing????????? I have just pulled and re-seated the original RAM stick, restarted and open Safari. played with safari for a few minutes and blink its gone. The begining of the crash report: Safari 4.1.3 builg version 1, PID 194, Thread: 0, Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0X0001), Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0X0001) at 0xb0000350 Which I don't have enough knowledge to understand............
