You need to restart your computer

2010-10-07 Thread Drew Anderson

 Hello All,

   Yesterday I got the kernel panic message, You need to restart your 
computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the 
restart button (in 4 languages) on my 1.3 Ghz eMac G4. I've been 
getting that A LOT on my iBook G4, and a few times on my Sawtooth G4. 
All running OS 10.4.11. It just seems a wee odd that 3 computers would 
all start doing that *AFTER Apple announced they no longer support Tiger.


   On the Sawtooth, one of the memory banks had mis-matched memory 
sticks. The other was matched. I pulled the mis-matched sticks  so far 
I haven't seen the message there since. (knock on plastic)


   The eMac though, uses a single memory stick expansion (If I'm 
remembering correctly) The iBook, definitely uses a single memory stick.


Any ideas what to do here?

Cheers,
Drew

The only time i ever got a You need to restart your computer message in 4
different languages message was when I used to install Jaguar in my sawtooth
in the old days but instead of using a retail disk i used a powerbook G4
disk. Check to make sure that there are no hardware/software problems with
all 3 machines, and that there are no FREQUENCIES running around back at
your place that could be interfering with the processor.

That's called a kernel panic.

As a engineer, I find Samsung to be at the bottom of the pile with the
most fails.  WD at the top of the pile.
