[G4] Re: apps issue...outta nowhere

[Robert H. Baucom]

I have an Apple 2001 G4 that crashes when you put it to sleep. I  
listed the make and Specs of the 3rd Party 5 port  USB 2 card ...  
which my Mac Guru thinks
might be causing it, along with info on the Graphics PCI card which  
he says could  also be the culprit. I'm suspecting that the ATI  
Graphics card might be the
problem since my Mac Guru says the ATI SW is  generally buggy. It has  
a 1.4GHz upgrade that also allows the machine to use larger hard drives.
I wanted to know how I could check to find out if the Graphics Card  
was a PeeSee that was flashed.

BTW, been using Macs since 1986. Have three Quicksilvers  in three  
different USA locations.
