[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1193485, member: 56379"] Incompatible or bad ram in many cases is the cause of "kernel panics" (which is what you're probably experiencing). The best way to test this, is to only install 1 stick of ram (a stick of ram that you're absolutely confident is good & Macintosh compatible). Then see if you have any crashing problems. If not, add a 2nd stick of ram...if it doesn't crash...install a 3rd stick. This way you can determine which ram works & which doesn't. If your computer still keeps crashing (even after each stick is tested individually)...then it could be the video card. Lastly...sometimes these sorts of crashes can happen due to expansion cards installed in the computer...or peripherals connected to the computer...either of which may not be compatible with OS 10.5.8.
