"I have a little later (mid-year vintage) model of that machine and so far am having no issues. However, there are some things to try and sleuthing to do. I would first try two things: Try resetting the PRAM and the SMC. There are instructions for both procedures all over the place. Also, determine if this happens only when the 9400 is involved, or does it happen with the 9600 (or with both). Are there any console messages that occur just prior to the panic? What software is running at the time of the crash? Do you recall installing any particular software or attaching any special hardware just prior to this syndrome beginning?"?MacInTouch?12/28
