I wonder if she is having power supply problems, like it may be weak. or the sonnet is failing. try testing memory with tech tools, if you don't have pref's set it won't check memory every time. the sonnet may have test utilities, try them. if you have a extra hard drive try starting with a clean install, gradually adding software back in. also pay attention to house lights, if they dim, your power company may be causing problems, requiring a line conditioner to correct. charles lenington pamark wrote: > > Hi all, > > I have a 9600 with a sonnet G3/500 card in it.
