posting here cause i need quick response

the thing wont start up 9/10 times.
it always crashes but i need it for work.
i think mabye reseting the pram might help but dont know how to do it.
if that doesnt work ow do i formatt it and re-install this has been a big problem since last night after the iMac it was connected to crashed crashing my iBook and its crashed many times today (approx 30)

Find a Mac Guru who owes you something and collect. If you can't figure out how to at least reset PRAM, then this is your best/cheapest bet .... IMVHO

Sounds like the logic board may have died/is dying...is it still under warranty?

yeah warrenty is good so im ok if hat is the last option i hav a mac guru ar school but he says hold out and do a clean panther install but i dont know how long this will be and it is a needed machine if it did go in for a new logic board would they put an 800 in it?
also it would be one of those thing where the geniuses at the factory in holland would start up see no problem and send it back any options at all learning how to do the pram afer been told is no problem
