Kernel Shutdown Error...

Recommended Posts

I have a PowerMac G3 that I'm working on and it's giving the kernel shutdown error from time to time. I have read up on this issue before and it should be either related to the Mac Operating System itself or the hard drive. The problem is that I tried to do a disk verification the other day using the OS 10.3 (Panther) CD and in the middle of the process, it showed me that kernel panic shutdown screen. In case you don't know what this is, it's the screen that's showing above the current window, asking the user to shutdown the machine (in a few different languages). It's something similar to this image.

Is it possible that the system board could be causing this issue instead of the hard drive? I could be wrong, but when I boot from the CD and try to verify the disk, isn't that really working on the CD but checking the hard drive? If it happens when I'm booting from the hard drive, I understand.
