Been happening far too often lately with my 7600. Powerlogic 400MHz, 500MB
RAM. Couple of HDs (3G and 2G). Boots up but freezes before icons appear.
bad ram stick ? slightly loose or bad scsi/flat cable ??
it stops when trying to load the cpu upgrade extension !??, my sonett extension became corrupt and did the same, had to be reinstalled, preferences trashed at some other occassion helped especially apple menu and extension manager prefs, what happens if you start with extensions off ? putting the preference folder on the desktop and restart letting it build a new one did also prove to be a fix.
My times and dates are fine. But it is possible the battery is not adequate? If it is borderline, can it cause the trouble I am having?
it was so with our 6100, it shredded the filestructure every restart, and the disk had to be ground- formatted, problem went away with new battery.
