[QUOTE="Morgan19, post: 77652, member: 4243"] I'm working on a new G5 and just had something very odd start happening to me this week. Every few minutes or so (literally), it'll make a "whir up" sound while I'm working... The best way I can describe it is that it's as if a fan is starting to go faster, or on the sound a PC makes right after you put a CD in the drive and are accessing it... It's that kind of gentle "aiplane" noise that starts quietly and builds for a few seconds and then quits. I've checked my power settings and the computer isn't set to hibernate or anything, and this does it constantly while I'm working. (It might do it while I'm not here but since I wouldn't be around then, I can't tell.) There's no noticeable change in performance when it makes this noise, or anything else out of the ordinary. Like I said, it sounds like a fan spinning up or something but I can't seem to figure out why it's doing it. It happens constantly so it's not like the system is suddenly under load or anything. Any ideas what it could be, and why it just started this week? m19 [/QUOTE]
