just got my 15" Powerbook G4 1.67 w/ hi-def screen. i'm new to Apple, so not sure what's wrong. my PB seems to be just randomly locking up. the keyboard & mouse are of no effect. i have to hold down the power button to get it to turn off, so i can reboot it. this thing is new & this is the 1st day. i love this thing & its functionality, but this freeze up thing is crazy. any advice? i had to reboot it 4 times so far in this manner! have all software updates loaded, too.

    What are you doing when this happens? Trackpad doesn't work either? What programs are you running?

    actually, turns out it was bad RAM from 4allmemory.com. do not buy from there.
