Blue screen of death.

[Hyperchaotic]

Hi All. Got my first mac (iMacG5) this May and all was good. However,in the last week it has bluescreened twice on me. It's a bit disturbing.
When it happens the fans rev up and I have to switch it off/on.

Advice and comments much appreciated.

I found below interesting log, which seems to give a good clue. Is this related to the recently announced Apple repair extension programme?

man like Meow said take that back and get a new one cause somthing dont sound right your best bet would be to give it back and have it replacet before it turns into somthing worse problems gont get better they get worse just get a replacement cause somthings not right with it noone else has that problem
well if they do its verry few people and they prolly done the same thing

Sigh

Good thing I kept the box. Off to the regent st. store tomorrow

Do you recon' it'll get a gen2 backplane or just a replacement to another gen1?

 

[madmax_2069]

i dunno what u will get they might give u the 2nd gen version or just ask cause the 2nd gen anything like pc's or cars or anything electronic has most of the bug's worked out of them when they bring out the 2nd gen stuff i would really ask if u was me to get a 2nd gen
