ok I know everyone warned me, but my 6300 has taken a fatal crap. It starts on get through the extensions then comes up wth a error saying that it has had a illegal instruction, then ived tried turing off extensions and control panels using shift on start up and it says bus error right before it loads the desktop. The only thing I did before i restarted the machine before it died was install Cyberdog(could Apple had stabbed me in the back!!!) Help me get her back up I know its not pure 68 power but I need my TV! Thank goodness I have my trust worthy 68040 Quadra 610 for back up Can anyone please help me??!!Jeremy

first thing to do with a crazy hardware problem is "reseat the boards" (ancient mainframe troubleshooting ritual), unplug and replug every connector, simm, card, cable, power connector and anything else that you can think of that has a connection that might possibly be just a little flaky. if that doesn't work pull the cpu (carefully, IF it's socketed, i'm not familiar with that mobo) and reseat that (might want to try pushing it firmly into its socket on the first run thru). chips can work their way up out of their sockets from the thermal expansion and contraction during powerup/down cycling. over a period of years they can work their way up enough to cause intermittent connection failures (tech support routine from a very technically savvy sign making eqpt. mfr.).did you check for reset switches or routines in the documentation? jt2 you're getting awefully far along in the boot process Edited by - alcoa on 25 Feb 2002 06:57:31 |

I have had the exact same thing happen to me on an Imac and a g3 tower. It was caused by adding an extention (Extention list 1.05) that corrupted my system suitcase, but I guess that since you can't boot off of a CD, that is not the problem in your case.AnubisTTP

Well see you are right heres the story, last night I ripped her down and did what Trash80 told me to and nothing, I managed to get a boot floppy that works, 7.5.5, so I now had access I put in my multi OS cd and I could not install cause my dumb friend scratched it up. I went to school and cam e home called Graphite Goodness and he told be what Anubis just said, btw when I said I could not boot off a cd I meant I do not have any cds with a mac os on them, so then I was able to install the bare system and finder with the cd before the installer crashed and now I am typing from her Thanks for your help!Jeremy

I'd hate to do this, but this thread has to be locked (*ahem* namely because the topic of this thread is a Power Mac 6300...)--------------------
