Mac G4 Hardware Problem – dying fast

by patriccio_2003 . Updated 19 years, 11 months ago

Situation: bought a G4 Mac, 2 hard drives, 768 MB RAM, and
basically works BUT if left sitting on, after a few minutes it gives
me the death message “You must restart this computer…”;
Also, my 2nd USB port only rarely works. I bought a 4-port
USB extender, and it only worked for a couple of days; the
hardware seems VERY sensitive to the USB port (dies especially
quickly).
Finally, the 2nd hard drive seems almost impossible to access;
I’ve got Office loaded on it, and it takes FOREVER to type a single
letter in Word, and ultimately it’s useless.

Do I have a bad drive, or some kind of power problem? Really
need this box to work! – Thanks, Patriccio
