Yeah, it's a tower. Sorry I wasn't clear on that. 20-pin connector from the power supply, so I'm pretty sure it's a sawtooth.

Could be RAM slots not functioning, RAM >not seated properly, dirty connections? It's definitely seated. I'll try cleaning the connections. I've tried several slots with known good RAM, but will try again. Perhaps I'm using RAM that works in my other machines but not this one. I'll see what I can do about finding an exact match - I've got four others of the same type, but they're all busy all the time. -- Bill Christensen <http://greenbuilder.com/contact/> Green Building Professionals Directory: <http://directory.greenbuilder.com> Sustainable Building Calendar: <http://Calendar.SustainableSources.com> Green Real Estate: <http://www.greenbuilder.com/realestate/> Straw Bale Registry: <http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/> Books/videos/software: <http://bookstore.greenbuilder.com/> -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
