My computer has stopped playing the starting chime I noticed today, and I've been getting kernal panics out of the blue each time after restarting from the first time it crashed.
The system is a g4 sawtooth, 733 mhz, with 640 MB of ram.
My friend's indicated that that bad memory might be part of the problem as to why computer keeps getting kernal panics.
All I know is, I'm starting to feel like I ended up with a partial lemon (I got this thing pre-owned off of craigslist.com).
The chime typically indicates proper startup...does it mean anything else? Should I try to replace the entire suite of memory, or just get this fixed enough so that it's sellable and get rid of it? I wish the problem were easy to pinpoint and isolate.
Kernal panics....my most-hated thing about OS X.
