iBook help

My iBook has been acting funny and I really don't know what to do.

I have an iBook G4 running OS 10.3.6 800MHz

What's been happening is occassionally the screen turns black and white text rapidly runs up it saying the same thing over and over. I can't quite read it but there are always numbers and a one of the words is "dumped" I think.

What's the problem? How do I fix it?

Thanks

Saje

well, you need to got it to boot off of something to run a disk utility that will let you reformat the HD. Then, you need the OS X (or 9 depending on what your running) disk to reinstall.
