[QUOTE="dziner, post: 15413"] I have the same problem. 1.6Ghz G5. Although it hasn't happened for a while because I just keepe my computer on ALL THE TIME. When I first got it I had dial-up and would shut down my computer every night. But in the morning when I would go to start it up, I would not hear the start-up sound and soon after the fans would be running full speed. I'd have to unplug it and try it again. After a few times it would start up. Now I moved and have a cable modem which worked for a few days and then suddenly my G5 would stop getting an IP from the modem. Now it works through a router when I manually give it an IP but still not the modem. I've contacted Apple on both problems and they said they've never heard of anything like this and basically offered no help except for the usual reset PRAM and stuff like that. [/QUOTE]
