I recently purchased a Sonnet ATA133 controller card to add another internal HD. I now have two 120GB drives running of the motherboard and one 60GB drive running off the Sonnet card.

I also purchased a 512MB RAM module from FirstTech here in MN. EDGE memory PC133.

Ever since this simple install I've gotten Kernal Panics. At first, I only got them when I tried to burn a DVD. Now it's every once in a while. The last one was with iChat, Safari, Mail and iTunes running. Just out of no where, BAM. That tint comes over the screen and a little, multi-language note pops up.

I hate that note now.

I never had kernal panics before (for a year!), so it has to be something.... I took out the ATA card... so far so good. Only one panic (when I tried to watch a DVD), but none since.

Anyone have any ideas?

There should be a panic.log somewhere on the disk, try /var/log, /Library/Logs or ~/Library/Logs.

Post the log, which could give us a clue on what's happening.

Whoa. Cool! I had no idea!

Well, here is the last panic. Since messing around with things, I think I may have narrowed it down to the RAM chip. We'll see.
