Hello.

I have a G4 mdd which i recently upgraded to 1G of ram (had 512). It was working great for a couple of days and now all of a sudden everything freezes anywhere from 5 seconds to 2 minutes of operation. I AM operating leopard and logic pro so maybe that has something to do with it. any suggestions?

thanks.

My computer was doing this awhile ago, and the problem turned out to be bad RAM. Since you upgraded your RAM recently, I would suspect this unless you can verify it with Memtest, TechTool or some other memory testing software.

There is no system but GNU and Linux is one of its kernels. Join the FSF as an Associate Member!
