Sorry to jump in with my own case query as I have no solution to your
problem but I have an old G3 which has caused endless problems.
It has had two new hard drives a new logic board and has had the entire hard
disk scrubbed to eliminate faults- unsuccessfully!
The second company I took it to replaced the HD (again) and it worked OK for
a while. Then numerous error type 10, 2, and 3 messages occurred. I ran disk
warrior (having previously used Norton and) Everything froze and it had to
go back to the repair shop. I have recently purchased a G4 and wanted to
keep the G3 for admin only. Everything I needed has been transferred to the
G4 but the G3 will not accept OSX and crashes regularly with OS 9.2.
(sometimes from start up, sometimes mid program - a common error message is
"Damage to the Volume Bit Map" - Running Norton helps temporarily. I have
read with interest the comments about Norton but if anyone out there has a
solution I'd be delighted to hear from them.
I don't want to spend any more money than I already have but the company I
deal with have said it may be a faulty processor. I have taken the ram cards
out individually and it still falls over, It has had two new hard drives and
logic board but there is still a problem. The machine did run for a year or
so after the first new HD and logic board were replaced (although for some
reason it took several hours for the company to load an operating system).
