[QUOTE="mlc331, post: 187520"] I've been running my first Mac since about Oct. of last year. It's been pretty good up until the last three weeks or so. My 20" Imac G5 has been locking up, not responding, going into a fault mode and telling me to restart. It's been intermitant, but more so the last couple of weeks. The only other programs that have been installed on the computer (other than what comes stock) is MS OFFICE Suite, FireFox, and a remote desktop thing from Mircrosoft. I also installed a second stick of RAM when I bought it. The Ram was not from the Apple store, but the guy at COMPUSA told me that this was the only RAM that he had, that would work. I've been through all the utilities and scanned and fixed all the permissions on everything. Just kept on doing it and with seemingly more frequency. For the heck of it, I took out the after market RAM and am now back to my stock 512. Any other ideas as to what can be causing it to crash? Hasn't crashed since, but I only used it for a brief amount of time after I took the stick out. HELP! I have the 3yr Apple Care but because it's intermitant, I really have no idea what to tell them.
