7600 weirdness

[imactheknife]

Have a Powermac 7600 that i restored. It randonly freezes and every time i restart it the raster comes up with mouse but mouse is frozen. Then it just stays like that. I have 188 megs of ram in it. Just wondering if ram would cause this kind of weirdness? Going to try going barebones tonight and see what it does. Also has a g3 upgrade card in it
