[QUOTE="penny1015, post: 40162"] HI, I hope someone can help me. My 2000 graphite IMac power pc specs: G3, 384 MB SD Ram, cpu speed-500MHz, cpu type- power pc 750(83.2),L2 cache 512 KB, bus speed-100MHz, boot rom version- 4.1.9f1.

Since then, the computer freezes when starting up, and when she finally starts up after many tries, it freezes a lot. It also repeatedly says it "unexpectedly quits." It says this when she is writing a paper on word and when she is on explorer, safari, Aim and other sites.
