[Ti] G4/400 Freezing Constantly

[Tristan Cunningham]

Hello all, I'm new to the Mac world as of 07/01/2005 with the purchase of a 
used Powerbook G4/400 (Mercury) laptop...

I wiped the hard drive clean and installed a copy of Jaguar (10.2) and 
downloaded an update to 10.2.8. The computer will not run for five minutes 
(except tonight I was able to push it for about two hours, but not using it 
constantly) without freezing! The memory was upgraded by the previous owner 
to 384MB (original 128MB + 3rd party 256MB stick).

I don't know what other information to give -- ask and I shall tell. What 
are some of the problems people have encountered over the years with these 
machines freezing on a seemingly random basis (does not seem to matter what 
program is being used)?

----
And while I'm at it:

The owner lost the original CDs that came with the computer, so I cannot 
install 9.1 - but if I need to upgrade the firmware to 4.1.8, how would I do 
so?
