OS X freezups

[AdmiralAK]

Hi to all.
After being away from my OS X box for a month or so, I got more RAM, installed it and turned it on. After the login screen it froze on me .. I rebooted, I loged in without a freeze up, and then when I was browsing though my HD..it froze up again! .. after that I rebooted and played around with it with no prob... but I was wondering if others have had freeze up experiences

it'll sometime takes awhile for it to get used to the new ram. it has an allergic reaction or something

if it keeps happening, try opening the box up & wiggling the ram modules a bit.

I have a client who has a G3/450 that was doing the same thing, it turn out to be sim-matched RAM (DIMMs of different speeds). You could try pulling out the two old DIMMs, and just using the 2 256 MB DIMMs you just got to see if that helps.

I've also seen cases where simply re-ordering ram fixed problems - just swap them around from slot to slot.
