Hello, first post.
Just purchased a refurb Dual G5 1.8, received it Saturday. Formerly had a DIY G4 box with a Gigabit Ethernet board. Came installed with Panther, but Tiger discs were included and I upgraded the machine to 10.4.2 Tiger.
Dual 1.8/1 GB RAM/Radeon 9600 XT 128 mb/80 gb SATA/Mac OS X 10.4.2.
My boot drive on my G4 was a Maxtor 60 GB, and the G5 SATA 80 GB drive.
I have used Carbon Copy Cloner to synchronize my files and settings, and after putting my G4 Maxtor drive into a Firewire case, I synched the files to the G5.
I am getting intermittent hard freezes when I am web browsing, it has happened three times in Firefox 1.0.6 (particularly when I visit the Lakersground.net website), and just now while browsing ebay in Safari.
The fans inside the unit appear to be working normally, I don't detect the CPUs overheating or anything like that.
I am somewhat shocked, I had never seen a hard freeze in OS X...I never had that problem with my G4 (ran Jaguar and Panther on it), and I didn't know that it could be a problem with Tiger. I have repaired permissions...could I have some damaged preference files?
Seeking answers, thanks.
