ok i've narrowed it down to the processor - a formac proG3 @ 500mhz
initially when i got it, it worked fine and would, about once a week, not boot up without turning it on and off a few times
recently, it just won't boot (psu turns on, as do the hard drives, but no chime and no display). it's not the ram as i changed that, and it's not the graphics card as the machine chimes with or without it
wondering if anyone here uses a blue and white powermac g3 and would be willing to either lend or 'hire out' their processor to me for a day or two (i'd pay postage both ways too). my motherboard is configured for a 350mhz processor, but the proG3 processor has switches to set the speed. also, the heatsink was glued to the processor. i managed to remove it but i can't reuse it without gluing which i don't want to do
anyone have a spare heatsink they're not using?
tia for any replies given regarding this.
