Hey all,
I received my Refurb G4 DP 1.25 combo the other day. In just two days use and installing different software, I've had quite a few freezes and lockups. I'm running 10.2.6 and added 512 crucial ram.
During some installation of some of my older classic programs, I had to force quit a few times. I tried to (from wacom cd) install the wacom driver and it kept freezing so I would force quit. Then I installed the driver from the website and all was fine. I tried watching a dvd using both dvd player and a 3rd party dvd program and rainbow circle just kept going. I force quit. Then left the room and 10 minutes later the dvd was playing in dvd player. I then tried a different dvd and it worked fine! There have been just a couple of times when I've had to hold down the power button because it locked up.
Is this normal for a new/refurb machine running osx??? Should I contact apple or give it just a bit longer?
Thanks,
Dan
