Ok, I need help. Let me give you the specs: Powermac G5 DP 1.8 with 1.5 gigs of RAM. I started getting some kernel panics and the system was acting weird, so I called Apple. They told me to do an archive and install, and everything has been working perfectly. All of a sudden, I get 2 kernel panics in one day, something that happened when I first go the mac. The mac is aprox. 2 weeks old. I noticed from frequent monitoring of the memory, when the memory gets low, the computer starts to act weird, and the computer either freezes, or has a kernel panic. I have run cocktail, repair disk, repair permissions countless times. I would run disk warrior, but it can't boot from CD in 10.3. What do you guys think it is? I need HELP!!! Thanks for the feedback
Got a tip for us?

I got the ram when I bought my computer. I got it for free with my rebate. do you think that could be causing it?
RAM and Crashes
I had about 6 months of crashes on wakeup from sleep with my DP1.25. I did things like run the Hardware test app for 24hrs with no issues multiple calls to apple two trips to a repair shop and so on...
On a suggestion from this board, I pulled one sim. (Kennsington Made) and no more crashes.
Replaced it with Apple Memory. Got robbed in the process and I knew it, but after 6 months of crap I wasn't taking a risk.
That was about 4 months ago, haven't had a problem since.

I just ran a apple extended test and it came up with a problem. I am not crazy. Thanks guys for the input. btw, it didn't come up in the standard test.
