Troubleshooting Symptom Charts/System - 22
System
intermittently
crashes or hangs
1 Verify system software is version 8.0 or later with enabler
770.
2 Verify software is known-good. Do a clean install of system
software.
3 Verify software is Power Macintosh compatible (contact
developer). Also, try booting with extensions off to determine
if there are system init problems.
4 Clear parameter RAM. Hold down Command-Option-P-R
during startup but before "Welcome to Macintosh" appears.
5 Remove all SDRAM DIMMs and try replacing them one at a
time to test. Replace any bad DIMMs.
6 Replace logic board.
7 Replace processor module.
