Consequences of Bad RAM
Authored by: hdms on Aug 18, '08 03:11:15PM

Just as a side note to this: I had a iMac G5 2GHz that would randomly freeze, or panic. I had upgraded the RAM to 2 x 1GB modules. Error log messages suggested RAM as the culprit, so even though TTD and AHT passed the RAM (and everything else) I replaced both modules and still there was a random problem. Turns out it was a case of cooking capacitors causing the trouble - even though the iMac was outside the 'problematic' range and all hardware tests passed. Apple replaced the logic board FOC, and the problem was solved. Until it cooked up the capacitors again a few months later.....
