I have a 3 plus yr old G5 - only a few applications open at the time (Safari, Itunes, Excel)…the thing just froze up - then after 5 minutes, the fan starts to blow real hard. Without knowing the simple commands to restart, I turned off the machine. Turn back on, the machine seems fine…then freezes up again…fan starts to blow hard again…this repeats a couple of times, now to the point, where the machine will turn on, but won't trigger the video monitor…then it stalls for a few minutes and the fan blows hard again. I've been stuck like this for a day now. I've checked connections…unplugged, reconnected…still the same thing.
This happened over a year ago, and after turning off and on a couple of times, the problem somehow went away. Only problem machine has had, and I run every day on various applications including pro tools.
Any diagnosis and solutions would be appreciative.
Thanks
