This system performed well for a year or so before I switched the 4 ATA drives to SATA drives and added a SATA controller. I figured the less cable clutter would be better for cooling. Since then it performed well for about 6 months before this latest spat of trouble popped up. So far I have switched the logic board and CPU and the original OS HD and now the PS. I also removed one stick of RAM (256Mb) that didn't appear to work. One more thing I neglected to mention, attempts to zap the PRAM have failed. Pressing the command- option-P-R on boot does not cause the system to restart and bong again.
