After having run my 9500 since 1994, it recently started behaving badly.
It randomly freezes.
I may play iTunes sequentially. Someties it just freezes up during the second song, sometimes goes all the way to the 5th, etc.
It currently runs OS 9, I try to update to 9.1, it verifies the updater about 1/4 way through, and freezes.
I have 1 gig RAM, but have now removed all but 4 64MB modules in A1/B1 and A6/B6, had them reversed earlier, no difference. System profiler shows them properly.
It will not let me copy large folders. Sometimes if I do a select all items then copy to another folder it sometimes works ok.
I used to run a Newertech G4 (400Mhz) which appears to be dead, and I am now running an original Apple 180Mhz, a Sonnet Crescendo is on order.
Running 3 internal HDs, 2 SCSI's, 1 ultra-wide on Initio PCI card, also running a 2FW 2USB card, one Firewire Disk and a USB hub with a digital mouse and flash card reader, which have no problems.
I removed all other cards (Keyspan SX 4-port serial), (VideoWizard TV capture), (fast ethernet)
I can copy large files to an attached Firewire from a networked eMac without problems, but copying from the 9500 will freeze.
After booting and doing nothing, it will stay alive, but most of the time with anything running, it will freeze.
FRUSTRATING.
Have rebuilt desktops, reset PRAM, verified/repaired disks, Cuda'ed, cleaned contacts, cleaned mobo with air and small brush (from electric razor)
Did the problem start with the removal of the G4?
Did you hit the CUDA lately. You need to dump NVRAM so the machine can reset to the current hardware configuration.
The CUDA is a small button near the processor slot. Push and hold for a minute. Then try a startup.
