Hello everyone,
I'm new to this site and was wondering if anyone could possibly help my situation. You see I am new to the Mac universe and am having a terrible problem with my mini. I've owned a mini 1.25GHz G4 for a little over a month now and for one reason or another it keeps cutting off for seemingly no reason. I do live in an older house with aluminum wiring, but I also use a decent UPS/ surge protector. I have to reset the PMU at least once every few minutes! I have heard that the logic boards go in minis very often, but if the logic board was fried wouldn't it just not work all together? I have upgraded the RAM from 512MB to 1GB, but I'm a seasoned PC builder and took every precaution necessary not to hard the mini due to static discharge, etc. If anyone could offer any insight into why this keeps occuring it would be most appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
