Help!!! I dont know what is my problem

[John]

Some on the Apple forms say I have a loose graphics card chipset with my
iBook G4 and why I get the occasional Kernel panic (although NEVER EVER
IN SAFE MODE). He says that my card itself may be good and why neither
the Apple hardware test nor Tech Tools pro can find the problem.

Yet others on a yahoo group are saying that its a bad memory socket.

Unfortunately the closest genius bar is 4 hours away so I will need to
use third party repair centers. I had one of them install a hard drive
almost a year ago so I can rule out their job as the culprit as it just
started to act up after I installed Missing Sync 2.03 (which they tell
me know is not Tiger compatible). Since I have removed Missing Sync the
kernel panics are not as common but I got another one when waking up my
iBook G4 from sleep this morning. But did not after reboot. I have since
disabled all startup items to see if this is the culprit
(http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html).

If anyone has suggested please let me know. Thanks!!!
