Rember can't test some of the memory. Memtest in Single user mode can. Don't have a clue what you would do if that were the case, but it would diagnose the problem. When you said 'replaced' the 256 did you mean put the existing one back in, or replaced with another 256 SO-DIMM? If it runs ok in safe mode, something that's loading in regular mode is causing the problem. See <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455> for ideas of where to look for problems . Safe mode does different things in different versions of OS X. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
