[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 996813, member: 56379"] Well if there is no ram on the expansion slot...that sort of simplifies things!;) Too high of a temperature can cause problems...thus here are some ideas: 1. Install a program called "Temperature Monitor"...and see what sort of temps. you're getting (assuming you can run the program long enough to get operating temps without a kernel panic). [url=http://www.bresink.com/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html]Temperature Monitor: Description[/url] 2. It's possible your cooling fan(s) are not operating properly...or could be failing. 3. If you feel confident enough...you could take your iMac apart, and try cleaning it out. Dust/dirt buildup can decrease cooling efficiency. Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
