I am setting up a G3 350mhz tower. It is running well with OS
10.3, however when I try to shut it down, a message appears in a
black frame in four languages telling me that I need to restart the
computer by holding down the start button for a few seconds. On
restart and shut down the same message appears. I have repaired
permissions etc but nothing has changed.
Plenty of Ram; 2 HDs
Any ideas for me on this one?

Hi Kev,
I used to see that black frame a lot when I was trying to make OSX
work on a PM7600 .
It often has something to do with software timing , and can be
related to RAM fault ,
Hard Drive slow etc.
I suggest you try removing a stick of RAM at a time and try again .
Also the Ram seating can be an issue ... like the contacts do not
make properly .
Mac OS9 will work fine but once you start with OSX panther etc it
will find any weak points.
What size hard drive ... how much spare space ?
Also does your Tower have SCSI or ATA hard drive ?
If it's SCSI the Hard DRIVE must have the SCSI terminated .
Other people may tell you not to worry about that , but my experience
says
you are on a wing and a prayer if you do not get that Termination right.
Good luck
Bob
