Hello all,
I am having a very strange problem, and I have run out of diagnosing ideas.
My 1.8 G5 came with 512MB(2x256) originally. I wanted to upgrade so I bought 6 256 sticks from 800-memory From here.
Once I installed every thing It booted up fine. I even had time to make a Screen shot.
Then I got the "you must resart your computer". this happened twice. Then the computer would go straight into Open Firmware.
I've reset Pram and nvram to no avail.
so the I downloaded the memory testing application from http://memtestosx.org/.
I found out that every possible combination of 2 sticks passes the test.
BUt if I try to use any more than two, I get al kinds of crazy errors and usually kernel panic before the test finishes
ANy ideas, is it my computer or the memory?
