I recently had a similar situation, and it turned out the RAM was bad...even though it passed all kinds of tests....ran fine in 9.2.2, looked fine according to Tech Toll Pro 3 + Dimm first aid. At my Apple dealer the manager said it wasn't a surprise, as OS X uses RAM more completely. (?) Swapping in new RAM fixed it. I would try that second, after confirming that the firmware is up to date. -Marty On Saturday, January 25, 2003, at 12:59 PM, Michael Blossom wrote:
