No joy with cleaning CPU card contacts with an eraser; nor with
pushing towards front or back of the MB socket; nor with cleaning
contacts with alcohol.
Can anyone think of another tack to take??

Thanks for your reply, Chuck.
Yes, I cleaned the CPU card contacts with an eraser. I'll go ahead
and give it a more thorough cleaning.
What do you mean by "MB socket"? Do you simply mean the socket into
which the card goes? If so, do you mean I should try to exert
pressure towards the back when I insert it, then - if that does not
make any difference - try pushing it a little more towards the
front? I'm certainly willing to try anything at this point.
Thanks, again.
Gary
Hi Gary;
One thing that I seem to be the only one to have noticed and commented on --
The CPU card/ MB socket connection seems to NOT be the most
consistent thing in the world. I too have had consistent results
with a 'stock' CPU. The upgrade cards however seem to be prone to
exhibit DIFFERENT results based on which end of the MB socket the
CPU card is shoved towards as it's installed.
When nothing else works, It's worth a try.
(You have tried cleaning the CPU card edge contacts with an eraser,
haven't you?)

I am currently deep in one of the worst cases of "black screen of

It's hard to believe a card or my RAM suddenly went bad when it
had been running so well before the last Tiger install attempt.
Can any of you offer any advice on other ways to reset whatever is
holding up the system from proceeding through the first few steps
of a reboot. Help!!!!
Thanks,
Gary
