It could be bad RAM, a bad harddisk, the processor or a number of other things on the motherboard. The only good way to tell is to swap out pars. For starters, try removing half your memory and if that doesn't work, swap the halves. You have to watch out, if the memory was the problem it may have caused corruption on the harddisk when you installed the software. If you have a Jazz, ZIP or other such drive try installing the OS on that and see if it works. Try reinstalling the original CPU daughter card. Scratches on the CD would have caused the install to fail. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
