[QUOTE="billycole, post: 34762"] [b]Major problems - G5 -- Update[/b] To recap, my power mac started to have random app crashes so I wiped the disk and tried to re-install the OS. Each time I try to install, I'll have either a kernel panic, or the machine will just hang in various stages of the install process. So, I swapped out the memory sticks and the problem stayed. I bought a new SATA HD and the problem is still here. What the freak is going on?! I just don't understand this. Does anyone have _ANY_ ideas or input for me? I'm at the end of my rope here with this machine and it sucks because I really like this computer and really want it up and running. Plus, I got a couple really cool games for it and that just makes it 10x worse! So, any ideas are greatly appreciated. I've noticed people talk about reflashing these motherboards. Is that something I may be in need of? I highly doubt it, but am just curious. I will have to take it in for repair if I can't fix it. Anyway, thanks for reading and thanks for any input.
