- Mac Pro G5 and a PowerBook G4
Hi everybody -
I tried searching the threads first, but I'm looking for something pretty specific, so I'll try to be as specific as possible. It's my first post, so I apologize if I'm in the wrong category.
I have a PowerBook G4. My specs:
Machine Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Machine Model: PowerBook5,4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.33 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.8.6f0
Capacity: 74.41 GB
Available: 63.36 GB (10/5/09)
OSX Version 10.4.11
At the moment, it seems to be running fine. I'm on it now. I've verified the disk permissions and nothing seems to be out of place. The problem: over the last few weeks, I've been getting the intermittent kernel panic message. I power down, sometimes it reboots without a problem and I can keep going, if it doesn't I reset the PRAM and it starts up and seems to run fine. The only time I get the kernel panics is when I'm using multiple tabs in Firefox - it will either spontaneously quit or freeze and I'll get the "gray box" telling me to restart my computer. The last time I restarted I got a blue screen with the following message:
System Faliure: cpu=0; code=0000007 (corrupt skp lists)

I couldn't move the arrow using the touch pad or cursor keys, it was just frozen. I shut it down, restarted, and it's running like nothing even happened.
Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on? Preventative maintenance I should be doing? How I can fix or resolve this?
Thanks for taking the time to read this, I know it's super long...it's just so frustrating!! (...and no worries, of course I've backed-up!;D )
