Unexpected log-outs!

[scruffy]

Well, it's not a solution to your problem now, but have you submitted this as a bug to apple? maybe including the crash log would help them a bit...

I'm starting to have this problem. I'm hoping it's not a 512 chip i bought a while ago, it passed a test by techtool pro, so i'm not sure. I know I get logged out every so often, maybe twice a week, if that. I get that ugly text over the interface crash every other day. I fscked, and the system file was modified. I ran the permission repair, and that found all types of things, it doesn't bomb out as much now, but I get logged out every so often. I think it's time to jump to 10.2

I had this problem twice. The first time was a bad daughtercard. The card passed all of Apple's diagnostics (they even kept sending the powerbook back each time I sent it) but they for some reasn never actually used the machine to see the error. swapping with an identical model card solved my problem with that.

The second time was b/c of one of my 256MB chips. Removing one chip resolved the problem (it was the chip b/c I replaced the good one with it to be sure it wasn't the two together, and the bad chip had problems even by itself). My bad chip also passed the Techtool diag.

I'd suggest taking the 512 out and just seeing if the problem persists. If it does, and the chip is new, send it back to the manufactuer.

I'll give it a try. I tried Dimm Firstaid, and all my dimms passed. I didn't start having real problems till last week. So I reinstalled my entire system, and proir to installing my apps, I had a crash, the one with text over the interface.

I aslso noticed crashes happened when I came from a monitor sleep, or when the screensaver was running. Recently, the screensave flickered, off and on and had a distorted look, like corrupted files. My screensaver images are on another partitin, which i scanned with Norton, and they passed. So I restarted, fscked in single user, and that problem was gone, and again their was a modification to the system somehow, so that was fixed. Just yesterday, right before it logged me out, a few apps kept quiting, so i guess it made it unstable and the system eventually caved and kicked me out.

Is there a way to make sure my ram is good? I had this ram for a month now, and prior to installing it, i had problems, not like this though. I had a crash every now and then, it's not everyday, but I have them. I have to restart to burn CD in 9, so my uptime is always cut short.

Ok, it just happened. I was running Golive, attempting to connect to a server, which does not connect all the time, although i can connect to my urbansory server with no problems. Entourage quits when i attempt to send an email, so i guess i need to restart. I kept tryig to send a email, actually attempt to reply, as soon as I hit the reply key, the app quits. Then i was logged out after doing this. I logged back in, no restart, and I still can't reply, and entourage is the only app open. I'm not sharing files, or using Apple talk on this ethernet connection. This is starting to become a pain.
