Dave,

What you've described is a "Kernal Panic".

RAM is the fist thing to check when experiencing Kernal Panics.
RAM can go bad.  Reseat your RAM, (just in case it's something that  
simple).
And if it continues to KP, try the idea below.

You have three RAM modules in your Cube, try removing one at a time   
The likely hood of all three modules going bad at once is a bit much.
Pull a stick, and try the Mac.  It's a bit time consuming, but you  
should be able to isolate the offending module.

Sense you have the core out, gently check your video card, make sure  
it's seated well etc.


Let  us know  what happens ...
