Perhaps my Logs that gave me a kp (when I tried to look at them with Apple System Profiler) after the kp during Startup, were corrupted by the Startup kp (caused by the bad RAM)? That's the kind of maintenance OnyX might help with ... just wondered if other things might be need to be considered. Keep an eye on your system, but if it runs without errors, you're generally fine. Will do. Also in the QS, I had recently replaced a DVD RW Pioneer A106 (guessing at model) with another identical less used one I had in an external case, since it was appearing to read sometimes and not at other times. Could that have been other evil effects of the bad RAM? I'll test the removed one in my Yikes. Could use the RW capability ... current one is R only. Hints on recovery from bad ram? Replace it with a great sigh of relief and a good beer, if you're so inclined :-) Usually, these days of one day at a time, an oatmeal cookie and cup of coffee will do me good ... thanks. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I'm running Leopard 10.5.5 on a QS Dual 1GHz and recently removed a bad RAM stick discovered while trying to fix ... well, everything else. Run OnyX? What parts? Seems like it can do a lot, but I don't understand what's what. Daily, Weekly, Monthly Scripts I trust myself to use ... after all, they'll run in the background, if you leave you machine on all the time ... Hints on recovery from bad ram? If you can still open the files and what you put there still seems to be there, why run anything? The only thing I have ever done to recover from a bad ram stick was to replace the stick. That goes for HP's RISC machines, DEC Alpha's, Old Macs and New World as well as PPCs, and PCs. RAM is not permanent storage. If the files still open and what you see is what you did, sounds like you are golden.
