Hello,
I have a G4 which my friend gave to me many years back before she left the UK. The problem is each time I turn my mac on the grey screen appears, sometimes for a very long period. Not at all times will the admin screen appear asking for password. Sometimes the screen will appear blue and stay blue with nothing else appearing.
When it does and I enter my password the mac loads but then crashes. I could be in the middle of a word doc and the same thing happens. I spoke to a friend who told me that I needed the original G4 Disc, which I do not have. I require assistance. Thank you for your help as I'm without a computer which is driving me crazy lol

I highly doubt that that problem is because of a bad power supply. For example, if you're in Word and the whole system freezes, it's probably bad RAM, bad logic board or your CPU. You can use memtest to check RAM. Logic board and CPU problems are harder to diagnose and spare parts are only on eBay. A lot of people now share your same problem of a freezing G4 with no real solutions. But, of course it can be repaired. It's a computer. |
Hello, I would suggest checking your computer boards inside. One of them has a small battery that often leaks and damages the board resulting in the common problem of Macs freezing up evertime their turned on. Unfortunately is this is the problem the repair is pretty expensive; depending on your model you might get off chealper buying a new computer. |
