Is there a kernel fix for my old PPC ?

I have a recurring issue with my G5 PPC ,freezes or crashes if or when I open some applications ie; iPhoto,Logic Studio,iMovie,Soundtrack Pro, most of what I'd like to use .

Or do I need to do a total erase drive and re-install of system ? Thank you.

G5 dual 1.8, 3GB.RAM,20 in. cinema, Mac OS X (10.5.8), LE 7.1.1 ,PRO TOOLS le 8.1,LP 7,GB '08,LS8

Hello, it could be HW or SW...


Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last crash problem & the Startup right after that for clues.


Click on the top line we want, Shift plus click on the bottom line we want, CMD+c to copy, then paste the text in a reply with CMD+v


A few dozen lines should be about right, hundreds or thousands won't likely be readable.
