[QUOTE="oragano, post: 171973, member: 10464"] The solution was even more random than i thought It seemed to be ok if it wasnt accessing the hdd. Thought its either got a dead drive controller or it was overheating I changed the harddrive and apart from a couple of hiccups it is fine! I have used it a few times now for half an hour at a time (due to battery more than anything) and its worked. Just thought id follow this up in case anyone else was stumped by something similar. It was strange that a dying harddrive would cause a powerbook to randomly restart! [/QUOTE]
