G5 Fans going Nuts!

[Koree]

Um yeah, has anyone encountered this before?

The G5 is a 2.5 dualie. It has the latest Tiger version. Not much more to say i'm afraid....

Thanks ahead of time!

Try this. Shut down your mac and unplug any external devices. Then unlpug the mac for about 10 seconds. Plug everything back up and restart. Worth a try. Also, any 3rd party RAM used? It could also be an external device that is causing the problem. You can try to narrow that down by unplugging everything except the bare minimum and add a device one at a time until you get the fans grunning again. Thats all I got. Hope It helps.

Kinda off topic, but, when you put a G5 in target disk mode, do the fans usually run full blast?

I've got an iMac G5 1.9GHz and it does it and it freaks me out.

Stragely enough, I have my old Dual 2.5 in TDM right now and it's running nearly silently.

This happened to me once. The Apple Support Chat guy said that you need to check your power supply to make sure its tightly fitting, tape the thing in if you have to
