Hello,
My G4 400 Sawtooth (OS X 10.2.8) has crashed on me quite a few times during the past few days. Before then, I've never had any problems.
What happens--> when I'm on the computer a bunch of highlighted text fills the screen. The first line of this text reads "System Failure: cpu-0; code=000000001 (currupt stack)" . I can't make much out of the rest of the text. I can pick out a few words like "kernel" and "darwin".
Has anyone ever experienced this before?
The main hard drive on my G4 is the original 10 gig. Could it be that the hard drive is currupt? Or do you think it's the processor?

Thanks for any input you might have.

Paul
