    Recovering an Overheating G5 Quad

    As part of the "Snow Leopard on PPC" threads and related work, I mentioned that I am going to retry the SLPPC install based on the wealth of knowledge to be had in these pages. I also mentioned that I am going to retry it on my G5 Quad, which regrettably is running hot and loud - fans near 3600...

    Had to retire the G5 Quad

    My G5 Quad - which I bought second hand three years ago to play high-end PowerPC games - had become increasingly temperamental; random freezes, kernal panics, loud fans. It would work fine if I didn't do anything taxing but as soon as I loaded up a JS-heavy website or 3D game, it would crash and...

    G5 Quad boots but #7 RED LED turns on and then off briefly, then goes to sleep.

    So I have a G5 quad and it boots ok, then the fans start to get pretty loud (I don’t believe full speed but I would say faster than it should be, but then after a couple of minutes, it freezes up and goes to sleep (sometimes it just freezes on what ever screen your on). I checked the LCS and it...

    G5 Quad in Classic makes fans take off

    Hello all. Just picked up a G5 Quad in excellent condition. I need this machine for some old software I use for my business. I swapped out the hard drive from my ailing G5 2.3 (from early 2005). The Quad is from late 2005. It boots up and works great except when I open up an app in Classic...

    Okay, so I bought a G5Quad like 5 months ago, and it's been running fantastic, but the foam thingy under the LCS was rotten from all the years of use. I took it out to clean all the dust that had accumulated and it was breaking in my hands. So a few months go by, and I find a polyestirene mat...
