| 1204356 | 2011-05-23 07:33:00 | Is there anything similar to Memtest86+ which runs on PPC Macs? PPC macs came with a hardware test disc, see if you can get hold of one |

This but I dont think its free (www.memtestosx.org). Or this (pyropus.ca). But you may have to build / compile it Neither of those appear to be bootable... |

| 1204362 | 2011-05-23 09:19:00 | Well that didn't work, came up with an error, according to posts on the Apple forum apparently AHT v1.2.6 does that, found a download for AHT v1.2.7 (which Apple hide from you for some reason) - exact same error... iTypical. | Agent_24 (57) | ||

| 1204364 | 2011-05-23 10:38:00 | So I take it the dvd is not an original that came with the computer, rather a full copy? I've got an original retail DVD for OSX Tiger and that's it. When I booted from it I had no diagnostic or memtest option. I can install OSX and run some utilies like Disk Utility, Network Utility etc but as far as I can see that's it. If there is some special key combination to access diagnostic tools on that DVD I do not know it If any AHT disc was supposed to be with the Mac, I haven't got it. |
