[comp.sys.mac] NEED Help Mac is FREAKING OUT!!

tims@starfish.Convergent.COM (Tim Simmons) (07/11/89)

My system config is: Mac 512, updated to 128k ROMS & 800k drives,
40MB hard drive (Seagate ST251 internals), system 6.0, finder 4.3?

This is the symptom: when the system is booted up from the HD the
happy mac comes up, then the dialog box that says "Welcome to
Macintosh" comes up.  then the dialog box starts flickering
rapidly,  at this point the system hangs.  I have to reboot the
system by powering up again.

If I boot from a floppy everything works fine, execpt that 3 out of
5 times the hard drive is not recognized on the desktop.  When the
hard drive does show up on the desktop everythjing seems to work
fine.

Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

pleas e-mail me and I will summarize for others who may have the
same problem.

Thanks in advance
