To James & all you mac guys,
I bought a Mirror Door Drive G4 mac (single processor) on Ebay about a year
ago, with the idea of making it my Paris machine, but I thought I would test
it first without Paris. At first it seemed to work fine, but it soon started
freezing up, usually after a few hours of use. I opened the case and put
a 12" fan pointed directly at the processor, and it worked perfectly for
awhile, but after a few months it was back to the old tricks. Definitely
heat related, as it's worse on hot days or if I keep my computer closet closed
with the light on.
Any ideas on what I might try?
Thanks,
Dale
