[geeks] Sometimes luck IS on my side

[Mike F]

Wish I could say the same - I've got a 12" iBook G3 that seems to be  
having logic board problems. Sometimes it will boot, sometimes it  
won't; when it does, shortly thereafter the screen will display a  
solid background and a pattern of stripes. At this point, only a hard  
reboot will revive it. Anyone have any clues? I recently added a 512mb  
dimm to this machine, although the stripes only started a week or 2  
after that, so that may or may not be the cause.
