I'm working on a friend's G4 867 Mhz MirrorDoubleDoor (MDD).
I put a new CPU fan in, and I think it might not have been powerful enough and I think I've damaged the CPU.
Everytime I try and boot, be it from the Leopard install DVD, or the new HDD (which had Leopard running fine for a week) or the old OSX hard disk, it gives me a kernel panic almost immediately.
I've got 4 screen shots of what happens (in Verbose mode) and I took some low res video as well since if it doesn't hang/freeze, it shuts itself down without a word.
The shots are here:
This is more or less the first screen that fills up during a verbose boot - very early on in the boot up.

My questions:
a) Is this a CPU fault?
Is there anyway of telling what hardware fault this is? This is the slowest G4 Leopard can be installed on but it wasn't that bad...
I can buy a 2nd hand CPU from ebay but if I don't know for sure it's the CPU, then I don't know if I should.
Can anyone help with this? Any pointers at all would be very cool.
It happens at around the same time every boot time.
I've tried a different DVD drive and disc, and no joy.
Thanks.
