ZIF INSTALL

[George Clarkson]

After installing new ZIF processor the computer went nuts, completely
zonked.  
 I gave up and reinstalled , it was still crazy.  This sounded like some of
the situations related to the PRAM battery that I had noted on lists so I
shut down, unplugged and let sit for six hours.
Then it started up normally and nothing had been lost.
I will try again after arranging a bootable back up of some kind as I could
not get to my slaveto use back up.  Wonder if anything would work while the
machine is wonked .  Also will install a new PRAM battery.
Following is summary of steps  taken and machine description.
Did I do something to cause  this reaction and is there anything I can do to
fix it when I try to install again? All insights will be appreciated.
