Hi,

I have recently got OS8.0 for my quadra 800.

However, it has developed an odd habit of "rebooting the desktop".

After I have been using it for about five minutes, it starts to get tired,
and if I do anything involving the finder (e.g open a folder), it tries to
do it, then all my icons and open folders disappear from the desktop, then
reappear a second or two later.  Once this starts, I can't do anything - and
if there are many folders open, it then tires itself out reopening them, and
I'm stuck in a loop.

This never happened with 7.5.

I have a new PRAM battery, and 32MB Ram, which gives me plenty spare after
the OS8 system has loaded.

Any ideas?

Also, I have found that trying to force my quadra to reboot with a three
finger salute doesn't work - if it crashes I nearly always need to kill the
power.  Any ideas on that one?

Thanks a lot,

Ian
