[QUOTE="thelemaway, post: 1008835, member: 132814"] My iBook G4 boots up fine. 5 - 15 minutes later it freezes. Keyboard and trackpad die and all I can do is switch it off by holding down the power key. Then, it won't reboot for 'a while', maybe 15 or 20 minutes. Sounds to me like it is overheating and the fan does seem to be a little erratic. I ran the quick hardware check on the re-install disk and it finds no errors. I can't run the full hardware check because it crashes before the process if complete. When it crashes during the hardware check I get a lot of interference on the screen. Wise words, anyone?
