Never happened to me... but it seems like some hardware (or test) failing. Better course is in trying to isolate the potential "culprit" (hoping is not the motherboard).

Besides what Dan suggested, you can try to remove any internal optional part (like PCI cards...).

The goal is arriving to a as-bare-as-possible machine, hoping to isolate the problem. -- 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.
