PROBLEM: For several weeks nothing wrong. THEN, this morning, it stopped booting with an error saying either "bus error" or "illegal operation". I tried testing each and every DIMM (took FOREVER)with the same results. Thought it might be the patch that allows my 9500 to run 9.2.1 so I booted from the CD with no problem (raised an eyebrow) then installed 9.0 on one of my SyQuest carts. Booted fine at first. . .but after second boot. . .SAME ERROR MESSAGES!!! Is my motherboard done?! Do I dump everything and buy new!? (biting nails, tapping foot, sweating like some sort of farm animal. . .losing $$$!!)
If all else fails try a hard reset by unplugging the computer and removing the PRAM battery overnight.
