It's got this intermittent problem: it freezes half of the time at the smiling Mac at startup. Starting up from the CD give the same results. It might or it might not freeze. So with pressing the shift key at startup. When it starts up OK, it works for a while and then freezes. It froze on Eudora, IE, Word, Pyro, etc. At one ocasion, the Finder quitted unexpectedly even though no one was sitting at the computer/no programs running. When it freezes at startup, it usually freezes again at the forced restart, but if I turn it off for a couple of hours it starts. However, it froze first thing this morning, after being off all night.
Most likely it's the RAM. That it happens with the CD too indicates this. If you have two RAM DIMMs then try removing one of them and see if it still happens. If not then swap it with the other.
The things I did: Trashed Finder preferences Replaced Finder Zap the pRAM, nvRAM, CUDA Disabled AppleTalk Rebuild Desktop Ran Norton
The HD was installed a few weeks ago, initialized with Drive Setup (Mac OS Extended) and Mac OS 8.6 installed. But it had problems before the new disk was installed too.
