I need help in solving the problem on my computer that says "type error 11" and restart the computer all the time when I am surfing the net. I have a Power PC-Macintosh 7300/180. I have added two 16 mags of ram recently.

Type 11 errors are fairly common; a little more information would help.
-What version of OS are you using? -What browser are using? -When did the crashes start happening? -Are the crashes random, or do they happen when accessing certain sites or performing specific tasks? -Are any other programs running?

Since you're running 7.5, a type 11 error could mean almost anything. Apple wasn't very specific back then. Type 11 is generally supposed to be a hardware error. You could try temporarily removing your new RAM, but I doubt that this is your problem. How much memory do you have allotted to Netscape? Before I upgraded my Mac and OS, I had a lot of similar problems. I eliminated a bunch of crashes by giving Netscape a little more RAM to work with (Get Info on Netscape and bump up the Preferred Memory setting). Sometimes these problems can be solved by zapping the PRAM. Restart your Mac and hold down P, R, option, and command while it's booting up. Hold them down until you have heard the startup chime three or more times. You will then need to reset some of your control panel settings (volume, mouse tracking, and a couple others are stored in PRAM). For more complete PRAM deletion or to run some tests of your system, download the free TechTool from www.micromat.com.
