Hi, I've been having persistent crashes since 10.4(average one per day), but also coincided with the arrival of a new G5, so not sure what is happening. I think it may be something to do with USB stuff, so shedding peripherals like crazy, and have done an archive and install. Daniel has said

Hmmm. I've had the same issue with my G5 since I bought it a few months ago. It makes me wonder if this is a possible problem with some of the G5 computers. Troubled me from 10.3.8 all the way up to 10.4.1. The only peripheral I'm using is my Logitech MX310 mouse. I'm not sure that

Hmm. This doesn't sound good. I'm using a Logitech mouse, but have also had the same problems using the new Apple one button mouse. Daniel has done a full reinstall of this one when he put in a bigger HD. On 12/06/2005, at 4:26 PM, Dark1 wrote: Hmmm. I've had the same issue with my G5

Doing a complete reinstall from scratch, as Daniel did for me when he put in a bigger HD, it worked well for a couple of days before the problems reappeared. I'll have a look at the discussion website, thanks. On 12/06/2005, at 7:39 PM, Rob Davies wrote: On 12/06/2005, at 2:12 PM, Susan
