My wife has a PM6400, running OS 8.6, into which I've just installed two 64MB RAM sticks, bringing her total RAM to 132MB (8MB soldered to the mobo); and I've just installed a Sonnet Crescendo L2 G3/400MHz/1MB cache) accelerator.
Both "About This Computer" and "Apple System Profiler" show all the RAM, and the L2 G3 accelerator card shows up at startup. The problem: whenever we try to "Restart" from the "Special" menu, or from a "Restart" button on any software installer (most recently an updated printer driver for a HP935C), the screen goes black and stays black; it will not re boot with a three fingered salute, nor with the power key on the extended Apple keyboard. The only way to regain access to the computer at all, it to shut it down with the "on-off" button on the back of the tower to the right of the video connector, and start it up by pushing the "on-off" button a 2nd time. I would welcome any help you can give in identifying the cause of this peculiar behavior; even more welcome would be any help you can give to cure the problem. Many thanks for straining your little grey cells. Mike Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
