I got given a beige G3 Desktop - latest rev with a nice inbuilt graphics card for my daughter. It was free except the time I have spent trying everything I can think of to sort its random crashing makes it not at all cheap! - and so far I seem to have lost. Hard freezes happen at any random moment.Too often to live with. I am pretty certain it is not a software problem now having completely wiped and started fresh - zapped pram - DiskWarrior etc and have tried swapping ram such that I don't believe it is ram either. The ide cable to HD looks a bit like it has been crimped pretty badly but I have no idea if this is a culprit. Seems a shame to dump it. I'd be into trying other parts etc but havent got any money really. I imagine there are piles of these things around or being dumped as they rarely sell for much anymore - but they run Mac OS9 ok. So what am I rambling on about? any last ideas - offers of cheap parts or even someone else who wants to test their machood and maybe succeed where I failed?
