Hey all:
I have a (3 days ago purchased) Powermac G4 dual 1.25 ghz firewire 800.
I bought it from a retailer and had them upgrade it, so here are the profiles from before:

Combo Drive
80 gig HD
256 megs RAM

and after:

Superdrive
no HD change
512 megs of ram (2x256 mb cards)

My particular model is refurbished, and its the one that will not boot os 9, some guy that works at apple told me he could flash it and change it to allow 9 boot or something to that effect... ANYWAYS, Every once in a while the G4 will simply stop (when playing a song it loops a second over and over, screen goes black) and I have to restart. 2 or 3 times I've gotten lines of code all over the screen and it says "waiting for remote debug logon." I was thinking it might be the new ram card... I think it's a used one, but I do have a year of warranty from apple as well as a year of warranty from the local store. Any ideas?

I think it's the RAM also. My suggestion is to to run Apple Hardware Test. If no problems found, you can try isolating the problem by testing out on memory module at a time.

If it's not the memory, then go to Apple. I don't know much about Apple warranty, but I'm assumming they don't support problems you might have with 3rd party RAM or 3rd party upgrades.

Yeah actually I think I solved the problem by clearing the cache... Jag Cache Cleaner from versiontracker worked good.
