Hi - I recently upgraded a Rev 1 B&W G3, replacing the original 300 mHz CPU with a 450 mHZ CPU from another B&W. I reset the jumpers to the 450 settings.
Then I did a clean install of Tiger 10.4 on the original 6 GB, which took several tries but finally got done. Then I ran 'software update' a few times (not every update showed up in the original search) and ran those updates. I took the precaution of running 'disk utilities/permissions repair' after each update. The B&W runs quite fast on Tiger 10.4.11 - but... It hangs frequently, especially when using Safari and Firefox, but even when running 'disk utility' sometimes. The cursor won't move, and after restarting, sometimes it runs OK for a while but always hangs again at some point. I've tried restarting in 'safe' mode, but that makes no difference; it still hangs. And after about half a day of frequent restarts, I noticed that the startup tone/chime doesn't sound - but I still hear other sounds (like the crunching of the 'empty trash' function). I love keeping old Macs going; I'm planning on giving this to a friend who is about as non-techie as you can get (not that I'm all that much of a techie either, but I've owned lots of Macs). But this is driving me nuts... I'm hoping someone has a fix for me!
