[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1144171, member: 56231"] No, I doubt the HD from the eMac is the problem, nor is the power supply a likely culprit. The logic board may be faulty, but I'd start with the RAM. There may be insufficient RAM, or the seller may have put cheap PC RAM into the machine. Your G4 MDD will take up to 2 GB of low density Mac-compatible RAM. Get a little utility called [url=http://www.memtestosx.org/joomla/index.php]Memtest OS X[/url] and give it a run. Then get [url=http://mactracker.ca/]Mactracker[/url] and check every spec for that G4 MDD. Keep us posted on developments, and tell us your full Mac specs. In your profile is best. [/QUOTE]
