Dear Gurus,
I have a Dual 2.0 G5, an original model. I have 8 gigs of DDR, all in matched pairs and an nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL (genuine Mac version), ROM version 2130. I'm running 10.4.11.
Lately it's been freezing up about once a week, on average. Sometimes it's twice a day. Sometimes it's not for three weeks. There seems to be no pattern as to when and why it occurs. No certain application triggers it. When it does freeze, nothing is able to respond. Everything goes beach ball. The fans don't seem to "rev up" as they periodically do when it's not frozen. This is becoming a problem because I'll have several hours into a project for school and VIOLA! Gone.
I ran memtest, everything was "fine." I ran a complete Onyx maintenance. What else can I do in terms of diagnosing this puppy?
Thanks all,
Elijah
