've got a friend with a G4 733Mhz Quicksilver Power Mac.
She had a stick of 128Mb and 256Mb RAM in it and fitted another stick of 512Mb RAM.
When she powered up, OS X couldn't recognise the new 512Mb.
She turned it off, took out the new stick and turned it on again.
It now only whirrs for about 5 seconds before it powers down.
So far she's tried:
• pressing the PMU button
• taking out the battery, leaving it, putting it back and pressing the PMU button
Every time it just lasts 5 seconds before turning off.
I'm going to try and fix it in a few hours, but does anyone have any suggestions?
