I have an 8500/120 that has me stumped. When I try to power it up it chimes but that's all (hard drive is spinning). The odd thing is when I shut it down (via the power button) and then boot it up again, it works fine. Stable, no crashes. If I shut down and let it sit for 5 minutes or more, then I get the chime and blank screen again. Everything is seated, I've swapped the RAM and the cache, changed the hard drive and played with the termination. I'm about to look through the yellow pages for witch doctors. Anyone have a guess?
If this is a power supply issue, are there any machines that I can interchange them with (specifically a 7300 or a 7500)? Keith Wiley -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
