Hello guys, i'm so desperate with this issue.. I have iBook G4 and today i was copying a game and the laptop freezed. I needed to restart, and now it immidietly shuts down after the chime and the apple logo. I've tried everything, safe boot didn't work, verbose mode shows only - "ibook g4 crashed using uid 0" or stuff, reseting pmu, holding random buttons like X or S and everything found on the internet... Please help.. Thanks a lot.
Got a tip for us?

Hey, thank you for the replay.
Well it's hard to see, it's something like "ibook g4 crash using uid 0 0 /System/Library/CoreServices and something" sorry..
I'll try that tomorrow, and post an update. But i'm wondering is it possible to be HDD issue? Because everything else it's working fine.
I'm thinking logicboard myself. The first time I ever had a symptom like the OP describes I was browsing a website and the Mac just froze. I successfully rebooted and logged in only to have it freeze again. Each successive reboot I got less and less far until it just stopped booting alltogether.
I'm currently installing OS X Tiger. It's about 60% complete. I hope it's only corrupted OS..
Yep. Reinstalling Mac OS fixed my problem. Thank you all for the opinions!
