Possible, but doubtful. You could double check the CPU temperature
and make certain that's cool enough. Perhaps the PC case isn't
moving enough air or in the proper locations?

I will reiterate that I have been unimpressed with the gossamer logic
board in all of incarnations, and personally don't spend any time
with those. If you are looking for a budget mac to run 9.22 or even
OSX the older PCI powermac hardware (like the 7500/7600/7300 or
8500/8600) is much more robust in my opinion. The newer and much
better AGP Powermac G4's are also ridiculously cheap at this late date.

Good Luck and keep us updated,
Marty

Yes, we are spoiled here for sure...
