[QUOTE="aljack3, post: 264794"] Thanks for taking a crack at this problem. Note, I stripped the machine down to the bare bones long ago while trying to troubleshoot the problems. I switched the HD jumper as suggested, I let you know if it helps going forward. Here's an update on the issues I am seeing with this machine. Yesterday, I was able to install 10.2 from the original discs. Overnight I ran 50 loops of the hardware test without incident. This morning I downloaded the 10.2.5 combined update manually. During the update the machine crashed to the white screen of death, the one that tells you to hold down the button to restart. Now when I try to boot to the HD I just get the blue screen with the mouse arrow. I've noticed that the machine tends to crash to the white screen while downloading or unzipping a large file or during an install as decribed above. CPU load doesn't appear to be a factor as to when it crashes. Thanks again for any help in solving my OS issues. [/QUOTE]
