[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 446104"] You could try [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760"][B]Resetting Cuda/PMU on Power Mac G5, Power Mac G4, Power Macintosh G3[/B][/URL]. Also, this might sound ridiculous but what the heck!... Unplug your Power Mac G5 from the electrical outlet and let it unplugged for about 5 minutes: this will help the capacitors to drain and might help. You could also try resetting the NVRAM by starting up in Open Firmware. From this [URL="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482"][B]Apple Knowledge Base[/B][/URL] article (the [I]How to troubleshoot a computer with Open Firmware Password enabled[/I] section): That should clean out more junk from your system. If you were using an Intel-based Mac, you could not use this troubleshooting procedure as Intel-based Macs do not have open firmware. Report back to let us know how these went. [/QUOTE]
