My PowerBook freezes (I don't have the OS X Tiger CD)
Hi.
I have a PowerBook G4 12" with a 1.33 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM, that freezes one or two minutes after booting. I can't move the pointer or do anything and I have to shut it down pressing the Power Button. I'm not afraid of opening it because I've got nothing to lose on it.
I think it could be the Hard Drive, or the battery, but it does freeze when it doesn´t have battery, and it's plugged in.
And if the problem is the Hard Drive, how can I be sure of it?
(because I don't want to buy an HDD if I don't need it)
I don't know what could it be, but I've seen on the Internet one or two similar cases that couldn't be solved.
Thanks for the help (and sorry for my English, I'm from Spain).

Do you have access to another Mac?

No, I don't have any other Mac. I'm reassembling it so I can run Applications->Utilities->DiskUtility:DiskFirstAid:verify disk as machead3 says and see what happens (I have to be very fast, because if I am slow it will freeze again).
