Is the heatsink seated properly on the cpu ? The clip has to press the heatsink in the right spot for it to seat on the cpu correctly. It could be overheating- you didn't say what the temp. has been. I have an xlr8 G3 400 that doesn't like to run a bus higher than 52 for some reason- in OS 9. In OS X I had no problems up to 55. -Ford -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
