Powerbook System Freeze Issue

I bought my PowerBook last Fall. The first PowerBook I got had all sorts of issues and it was replaced. This second PowerBook appeared much more stable, but I still got occasional system freezes. Not kernel panics (though I’ve had those too) but complete system freeze without any nice error screen or panic log.

Anyway, last night I did more investigating and came across a thread in the Apple Discussions forum. It appears I’m not the only one. The suggested fix is to turn off processor napping though solution did not come from Apple. In fact, Apple appears to be completely ignoring the problem.

So if you have a 15 inch 1.67 MHz PowerBook, check out the discussion form link above.
