Try reseating the DIMMS and don't forget to check the battery on the motherboard. Before going to Panther make sure you get everything stable in 9.1. Your G4 card may be fine, but with a G3 at 270MHz OSX wasn't worth it. I also had trouble with 9.2 being too unstable so I went back to 9.1. Good luck.
