[QUOTE="evolutionaire, post: 920252, member: 123006"] Thanks for the response, csegeek. I did the easiest (in my opinion) first and reinstalled Firefox. After about 30 minutes of normal usage (which, for me, is multiple tabs open) I attempted to open another tab, it stalled in loaded, the gray box of doom appeared and I had to power down. I re-started holding down command-S and ran the fsck -fy and received the following information: **/dev/r disk 0s3 **Root file system **Checking HFS Plus volume. **Checking Catalog file. Invalid node structure (4, 7335) I then restarted without any problems and it seems to be running. The kernel panics are intermittent and I can't figure the problem out. I was thinking of upgrading to OSx10.5 (I don't have the 10.4 install disk - I got the PB used and on its last legs for a song about a year and a half ago and have been fixing it up) and upping the RAM to (2) 512Mb DDR card. I have a brand new battery and a new power adapter. I just replaced the hard drive back in March - I can't see why a brand new hard drive would go so quickly. BUT I don't want to do these things (obviously) if my motherboard or processor is crapping out. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
