I have a pre-isight G5 PowerPC 1.8ghz 160gb HD
I recently upgraded the ram from 1 GB to 2GB. I did it myself and it went fine, I didn't touch anything else in the computer and was very careful. The ram registers in the computer and everything. I bought the ram from an authorized mac dealer.
After this, I upgraded to the newest leopard. It was a leopard I bought from an authorized mac dealer as well. Everything went fine. all programs run normally.
however, three times now it has randomly turned itself off without any warning, like someone pulled the powerplug out of the wall. It won't turn back on immediately, I have to wait a few minutes then it comes back on as normal. There is nothing specific I was doing at the time, just browsing the web and burning some dvds (not sure if that would effect it). It even did it once while in sleep mode. It has never done this before.
Is it a RAM problem? I was told that my computer was able to easily handle leopard, but could it be the problem? Thanks!!
