[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 947441, member: 56231"] Seeing you've had the logic board replaced, that (I hope) rules out the notorious eMac capacitor problem, but check on the caps that you can see from the access hatch to see if they're bulging or leaking. If so you have a good case to have another logic board installed - at Apple's expense! On a brighter note, it may simply be a loose power connection somewhere, starting from the power plug/socket right through to the power supply unit inside the eMac. Jiggling the power cord when the eMac is in operation is not recommended, but it may just show where the problem lies. Second option is loose RAM modules - open the hatch to see that they're properly seated, because you *may* not have put them in place quite firmly enough. With your Panther disks, assuming you still have them, boot from Disk 1 and run a hardware check, doing any necessary repairs. If you need access to an eMac manual, post back or PM me for assistance.
