[PowerbookRors]

Hi there,

I've got a Powerbook G4 1.25GHZ 512MB SDRAM...

For a while now, its been crashing...a lot.

Usually every day which is quite disturbing. After about an hour of turning it on and using it, the screen will just freeze. I then have to hold the power button down to restart it !

I have no clue what's wrong. It was absolutely fine before. I've tried freeing up space and propping it up on a book, but that hasn't worked.
I've also tried changing the battery, but that also has failed.

Does anyone know what may be the problem ?

Any help would be fab. Cheers

Define the crash: freeze, kernel panic, spinning beachball, what? Have you tried the usual: reset PRAM, PMU, run disk utility from boot CD, etc.?

I had the exact smae problem. Then I tried this method.

Apple doesnt acknowledge the problem, unfortunately, and I suspect its due to adding new RAM (the RAM, however, is not defective and should work. its just the g4 proc is probably really finicky and works only with samsung or w/e). Either way, use the Nap Off solution.
