What about swapping out the one component you haven't mentioned yet,
The CD Drive!
If your getting different issues I'd say its to do with the Mac
reading the CD
That's my thinking anyway :)

Sometimes I get as far as installing and the installation stalls
after 15-20 minutes; sometimes I cannot even find a destination disk.
I have partitioned the drive into one partition, checked out the
RAM (plenty of RAM),
Plenty of RAM ! ?
Why don't you remove all except a minimum single 128 Mb piece
and then try ?
I would guess you have a stick of Ram that is dicey ,
OR a Ram socket causing problems
IF you are in trouble with that piece of Ram , try another piece ,
And / Or try another socket
ALSO , before doing the above just run Apple System Profiler and
see what RAM it says you have in what sockets
It may give you a clue

checked the Pram battery and the pram power-on button, zapped the
pram...even changed hard drives with the same results. I have also
changed the cable to the HD.
I have used three different installation disk sets.
Time to give up or have I missed something here? Nice machine,
pity to dump it.
TIA
