[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 915661, member: 56379"] Building on what Harry mentioned about a possible "heating" problem...what are your PowerMac G5's fans doing? Are they: - on "full blast" (fans running very loudly) - "normal" (for your computer) - or no fan sound at all? Since you do get 10 minutes of runtime before it shuts down...download this program: [url=http://www.bresink.de/osx/TemperatureMonitor.html]Temperature Monitor: Description[/url] And launch it on startup. Watch the temperature readings to see if they increase greatly during the 10 minutes your G5 will run. Share with us the temp readings (min & max, from start to shutdown) so we can verify if they are "abnormal" or not. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
