[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 996635, member: 8287"] I 2nd Pigoo's advice. I own and still use daily an iMac G5 2.1 Ghz iSight. It's been a VERY reliable machine but after a few months I put in a 1GB stick of RAM in the bottom slot. After 2 months I started to get KP's and freezes. In my case the AHT said that stick was bad. I took it out and the machine was like new again. I bought a 2GB Kingston and installed that and never had a KP again except once which a software issue. If there is RAM installed in the bottom slot under the cover, remove it and see if the errors go away. There is 512Megs RAM on the main board so the system will still work with that RAM out of the slot. Please let us know what happens so we can help you farther if this does not work. [/QUOTE]
