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...<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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)?<br>
<br>
----<br>
And while I'm at it:<br>
<br>
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?<br>
