[Vic David] “I removed additional RAM, and then replaced X800 back with the original Radeon 9600. The G5 kept freezing. Then I booted from a a different HD (Tiger) with all new hardware installed bak in and left it running overnight. It worked flawlessly.”

Yea thats why I recommended booting from the old system drive first.[Vic David] “I ran Disk utility and “verified/repaired” the Leopard boot disc, while in Tiger.”

Definitely not a good idea. You can use a newer version of the OS to repair permissions on an older but using an older OS to repair a newer one can actually cause more problems.

There are no “technical solutions” to your “artistic problems”.
Don’t let technology get in the way of your creativity!

Have you tried zapping the parameter RAM? I was having some problems with my G5 2.7 and then I zapped the parameter RAM and reset the power manger. There is a little button (very tiny) near the RAM modules that you can press and then re-hook up everything. That solved my problems.
