[QUOTE="h3o, post: 15471"] I took my G5 to the apple store genius bar and figured out the problem. It is because I don't have a good, clean power supply coming from my outlets. My moniter twitches when I turn on my TV, light, etc. the lights dim once in awhile too. When I took it to the apple store, it didn't have any problems starting up or crashing, we even restarted it about 15 times to be sure. A similar problem to my roomates computer happened the same week, so we probably had a surge or something. He suggested I get an APC backup, the fat heavy kinds, not just the surge protector ones. He also told me that the fans probably freaked out because it was idling for so long. I'm using it now and it works fine, but it could be different tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
