Running a G3/450/768MT. Every once in a while the computer will just shut off. It is usually when I'm using it. The screen goes black, the monitor light stays green for a few seconds then goes orange. The temperature on both the processor and hard drive stays the same, a little over 100�F. What would the probable cause of this be. It has not caused any great problems yet, but I have a chance to change my hard drive if that could possibly be the cause. I was thinking processor, but it is a new one in the last year and I think the machine has done this before it was replaced. Is it possible that the memory could do this and if yes, how would I test for it? Anytime I do test the memory, it always checks out OK.Sounds exactly like what was going on with my beige G3 266 Mhz every time I tried to upgrade to 10.2.8. Finally went with the 10.2.6 upgrade, hasn't happened since.
Thanks for now
