Hi guys, perhaps one of you can help.
I searched the web and several forums but didn't found a solution.
First the specs:
iMac G5, without iSight
768MB of RAM
10.4.7 with all available updates.
This machine isn't used very often. In the maintime I controll it with Remote Desktop.
It started with a "klack" during the boot process (after the grey screen during the blue one)
after the klack the system stops. after a few minutes it starts again to read from the hd and then another "klack". this happens 5 times and takes about 10 minutes.
right after that i rebooted the system but then there were fewer "klacks" until the system booted flawless. (took about 4 reboots)
if i shutdown the iMac complete, the klack things starts again.
if i don't shut down the imac and let it go to sleep, it automatically reboots every 15 Minutes. The whole day long. I don't know if that also happens when i would work with it but i don't think so.
My unsuccessfull repair trys:
- changed the hd
- reinstalled the whole system
- reinstalled the comboupdate
- repaired permissions
- repaired the drive
- option+alt+p+r holding at startup
I think this really sounds bad and is a tricky one, but perhaps one of you can help me...
