[QUOTE="philsharp, post: 72933"] [b]still crashing?[/b] Hi Guys, I don't know if anyone is still here now, but I also have a 12" G4 iBook from about the same time and have been having similar crashes. At first, like the orginal post, I thought I was being too fussy - this was my first Mac so how was I to know? Over the last year, the problem has been there, but it is so intermittent, I could never find a pattern. This last week, it seems to be all the time. It'll only boot one in every three tries and struggle to run for more than five or ten minutes. It now seems as though the fault is more hardware than software, and the unit seems particularly sensitive to being moved. So now I'm thinking that something is loose under the keyboard - I have double checked the ram and Airport card are fully in place. Before I go off to find a repair shop, has anyone experienced similar with this particular model? I know Apple have this logic board problem, but as far as I can tell this affected earlier models, but I am wondering if this is a manufacturing problem? [/QUOTE]
