[QUOTE="SC87, post: 350987, member: 28618"] Hi, my parents have a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5. It was originally very quiet except when: - lots of programs were running - iPhoto was importing pictures - streaming videos were being watched or - a program was not responding, etc. At this point, a fan and something else (the second processor, I’m guessing? Don’t know much about these things) would turn on. It was loud. You could hear it accelerating until a constant speed at which it would stay until whatever it was doing was done eg. until IPhoto was done importing or whatever program was not responding was force quit, etc. [u]The problem[/u] now is that it is like this all of the time; from the second OS X starts up to until the computer is shut down. It is very loud and irritating. Can someone please help me troubleshoot and figure out what is going on here? How can I detect what is causing the second processor or whatever it may be to always be running? [/QUOTE]
