Hi,
I am fairly new with Mac's and I am attemtping to troubleshoot my Power Mac G4. When booting up I receive this information:
Invalid Memory Access @ XSRRo 1b6ede2c XSRR1: 400003030
Apple Power Mac 3, 6 4.4 8f2 Boot Rom build on 09/30/02 at 10:24:31
Tech Specs: Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) Order no. M8689LL/A
When I booted up normally, eventually the Mac froze up. So I did a Disk Utility scan and it fixed permissions issues. I attempted to do a hardware diagnosis but the Apple Hardware Disk failed to launch. I read you can do a "Open Firmware" and then attempt to run a program? But I wasnt' sure what I was doing. I put in just the origanal ram it came with: 256 MB PC2700 DDR SDRAM in the first slot with no other ram put in and I am still received the message above. Is the Ram bad then? And how would you really test it?
Thanks for your help!
