suddenly my g4 mini like to hang a lot??? wuts the probs actually?? is it because of hard disk or ram???
anu gurus here can help me???

u everytime off your com by power switch??

I think the fastest and easiest way without much trouble-shooting in this forum is, perform a clean-install. Not upgrade, not archive and install, but "Clean Install"...

If that does not work, then we trouble-shoot the hardware.

I've had similar problem to yours. I was using a 256MB 1.42Ghz mac mini with Tiger installed. It seems that the mac keeps on crashing or it never boots (stucked in the booting screen). I've found out that the hard disc died (it shows RED aka Failure when you boot from the DVD).

So , I had to buy a 100GB 2.5" Hard Disc and replace it. Opening was pain in the butt. Then , I replaced the RAM with 512MB of Stick and its running okay.

It might be the hard disk. Check Disk Utilities (its in the Utilities folder) , make sure the SMART Status is okay. Otherwise its your HDD that is giving you the problem

thanx for the feedbacks... i'll do what u guys ask me to do.. will keep u guys inform
