[QUOTE="chscag, post: 934919, member: 46727"] I suspect you're correct in that the problem is related to the GPU. Each screen shot you posted also shows a kernel panic. (very similar to the infamous Windows BSOD) I'm not exactly certain which video card is in your iMac G5 but MacTracker shows it to be a nVidia Geoforce FX 5200 Ultra AGP. You might check that to be sure - open it up and look. Anyway, you could try a replacement card if you can find one. Make sure the card is for the Mac. A PC video card will not work (different firmware). Regards. [/QUOTE]
