i'm using an ibook G3 . i bought and installed tiger 10.4.11. this ibook had to have additional RAM to run the 10.4. i installed a 512mb to compliment the on board 256mb RAM. when online a dark screen drops and prompts me to restart by holding down power button till it shuts off. then hit power again to turn back on. when i turn back on it drop a window "mac os x quit... do i want to report" i click report and the window disappears, and use firefox to log back on. i tried safari , but have problems with it, firefox gets online and stays online. it will restore my session , but i lose the work. i used disk utility, both drives scanned ok. permissions as well. i've downloaded yahoo messenger 3.0 , and installed macally icecam since the 10.4 upgrade. any suggestions? thank you for your time.
 
Try removing the 512MB RAM stick you added and see if stability increases. Shoddy RAM is notorious for causing the "black screen" you're seeing -- called a "Kernel Panic."
