Is this a "new" PB or did you just add anything? If you're unsure of its history, you might try checking for the dual memory chip problem. Some machines are a little pickey about the memory modules added. If they don't seem to match then you have problems that sometimes show up like your's. Take the small memory chip out between the larger memory and the CPU chip and see if this solves your problem. If you need details on taking the PB apart contact me and I'll give you detailed instructions. Its easy and should take less than 5 minutes.
