I haven't tried the "reset-nvram, reser all" trick yet. I'm usually very careful about trying advanced commands as I don't have enough knowledge. The support section at mac.com also has some documents about reset-nvram stuff, have a look. And you can find the article I was reffering to earlier at:

I called Apple care for help. We went through the device utility chek (also from the Apple CD), verified disk and permissions etc. Even the Hardware Test (on the Apple CD) did not show anything wrong with my memory. They suggested to remove my extra memory (512mb) so I did. If this doesn't work they suggested an archive and install or clean install.

I removed my extra memory today and haven't had any problems since. However, it is a bit early to say offcourse.

I also spoke with the technician in the Apple store. He said that they use the same memory brand (Kensington) as Apple does. However, that they have had severe problems with these memories and that 12 out of a batch of 20 had been faulty!! He did however say that he tested my memory chip before he installed it in my computer..

Anyhow, I will now be running the built in memory only (256mb) for one week and see if my problems get solved. I keep you posted about if it did the trick. I hope you get your computer fixed as well!! :-)

Ok, it works fine with 256mb, haven't had even one crash in several days!! And the extra memory was Kingston, not Kensington as I said earlier. The laptop is now very reliable but naturally a bit slow. I will exchange the extra memory for a new and see if my Mac will not crash after sleep. I keep u posted

It works EXCELLENT with my new 512mb Kingston RAM!! Everything was due to some strange problem with the previous memory! Not one single crash after I changed it!!

I'm very happy now with my Panther :-)

Please Help! My computer keeps freezing after I wake it up from sleeping. It doesn't do it every time, usually pretty randomly after sleeping. Someone else was on my computer and may have done something to it. It shows me an information window when I try to open up a program, usually iTunes, but it has happened with other programs as well. The information box states: "The storage device that you have just removed was not properly put away before being removed from this computer. Data on writable volumes on the device may have been damaged or lost. In the future, please put away the device(Choose it's icon and eject it or drag it to the trash) before removing the device." I have a G4 running on OSX. Whenever this happens, I can still work in programs that were already open, but it wont let me quit anything or open anything else up, even when I try to use force quit. The only way to get the computer working again is to hold down the power button until it turns off. I would really appreciate any help on this!

Don't know if this would help. Try to repair the permissions on your disk by using the Disc Utility (in applications/utilities). And NEVER let anyone touch your computer. Keep it as private as your toothbrush..

Thanks! Computer has not crashed in a long time. I think that fixed it. Thanks a million!
