Instant shutdowns are often caused by bad RAM. You should probably troubleshoot the RAM. I’d open it up, remove all the RAM, visually inspect the gold trace leads, and reinstall. A PPC Ubuntu boot CD has MemTest in the initial boot menu, or find a similar Mac boot CD with a RAM test. Other things you can do is start with a single stick of RAM, use the computer, if the problem disappears, then add another stick, until you either determine which stick is bad, or find the problem is either not related to RAM, or was the bad seating of the RAM within the slot. -- -- 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.
