[DM-MUG] iMac G3 question

[kcrouch]

I had similar problems with my iMac G3 last summer. I had already placed a new drive in it and the problem repeated. So I ordered another new drive. Before the drive arrived, a friend told me of the problem that they had with bad memory. It sounded like the same issue. I had 2 128MB simms and removed the non-Apple one. My hard drive problems ended.

So if your drive turns out to be fine, check the memory.
