G5 randomly shuts down

lately my computer has randomly shut down. i just moved from boston to nebraska. i moved my computer in its original box and thought it was pretty safe. everything seems to be working fine except for this. the computer can be on for hours or not even minutes and just shuts down. there doesn't seem to be any other power issues in the room or apartment. can anyone please offer and idea as to what has started happening? thank you for your time.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
Is your iMac an iMac (Flat Panel) or an iMac G5? It's well known that some iMac G5s suffered power issues.
iMac G4 (aka "iMac (Flat Panel)"): iMac G5:
Let us know.

  • Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro, random shut-downs running Mavericks,

    Since the last two Mavericks OS updates, beginning April 21st, I am experiencing random shut-downs on a mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro, any suggestions? I've seen posts regarding the known logic board issue, I had no problem before the last two OS updates. Seems to be related to sleep/wake. Running 10.9.2

    Hi Andy, would you take more look at this log. . . random shut down happened again, look at 11:54 am and before, I re-booted at 12:02. Had suspected my external monitor at the office, laptop does not do this at home, ran for three straight days, no issues. No monitor connected today as a test. Plugged in at the office for just over three hours and bam. could be the battery thing, will try AHT or Apple Diagnostics, could it be a Time Machine related issue? Thanks in advance.

  • Mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro Random Shut down and Restart

    I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks for the help...

    I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks for the help...

  • My iMac (27-Inch, 2012) is randomly shutting down

    Hello,
    Wanted to ask here before I bring my iMac in.
    I'm having an issue with my iMac randomly shutting down from what seems like a KERNEL PANIC.
    I haven't been able to pin down what is causing the shutdowns/kernel panic.
    We usually leave this iMac on 24/7 since we use it with Apple TV.
    I started noticing about a month ago coming back to the computer after a few hour I would log in and I would get a window asking to restore my apps because
    the computer had shut down due to some error/problem.  I will usually submit the report to Apple when asked to do so.
    It's now happening much more frequently. I'd say about every hour or so. Even when I'm using the computer after a while it'll start to feel sluggish, almost like a quarter to half second delay for mouse and keyboard commands. Then after about 10 minutes it slows down even more until "POOF" black screen....then Kernel Panic grey screen asking me to press a key to restart.  It seems to happen regardless of the application I am using.
    At first I thought it was one of my USB hard drives or USB HUB that was causing the issue but last night i unmounted all drives and peripherals (except mouse and keyboard) to see if that helped.  Woke up this morning to the same login after Kernel Panic / shutdown.
    Repaired Disk Permissions then ran apple hardware test this morning. said everything was working correctly. Problem still persists.
    Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated (CPU info + Sys Dialog Report below)

  • Macbook Pro Randomly Shuts Down and Restarts

    Hi There,
    This issue appears to have occured for other people in different forms but there does not appear to have been a conclusive answer to the problem, so here's hoping someone here might be able to provide some further insight into the issue, and with some luck, a solution.
    I have an early 2008 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.7.2 (plugged-in to power) that has started to randomly shut down and then restart itself (goes through all the start up screens; Apple logo etc.). It doesn't appear to be just a straight restart of the machine, but it shuts down, and then a couple of seconds later, reboots, as though it is two different actions...
    The computer does this pretty randomly, and now quite often. It happens when applications are running, Safari for example, and when nothing is running and i just go to open Finder or use Spotlight.
    I haven't had this issue in the past (some 3+ years of full time use now) and as far as i'm aware, nothing changed on the computer immediately prior to the issue occuring (no updates, installs etc.).
    I've checked the systen log which, each time the issue occurs, returns the message 'Previous Shutdown Cause: -128'. I've sought reference as to what this refers to, but it would appear to be a mystery to the WWW.
    I have tried the following solutions with no success:
    - Proper restart and reboot of system;
    - Repair permissions;
    - Reset SMC;
    - Reinstall OS X.
    Any thoughts on what the problem is, what the '-128' refers to, or what more i can try to solve the issue?
    Your help is much appreciated! Thanks.

    I know this is a really old thread, and everyone's probably already bought new computers now. However, I'm still using my 2010 MacBook Pro and have been experiencing this very frustrating issue. However, I think I just found a way to open a finder window that prevents the shut down. In Finder>Preferences>General, under "New Finder windows show", I had "All my files" selected (BAD?), which probably was the cause, because setting that to "Desktop" instead has prevented shut downs, for now. Just thought I should share this tip, in case anyone else suffers from this annoying issue.  If anyone has a better tip or a real fix, please post a reply! There are still people, like myself, working on these older machines who would appreciate the info. THANKS!

  • Imac g5 randomly shutting down

    i recently purchased a used imac g5 from a computer store for around 500 bucks. I luv the computer, nut it began to randomly shut down in the middle of activity. I took it to the store and the technician said that everything looked fine. of course he ran it for twenty minutes and it did not shut down....get home later that day and it runs for about an hour and shuts down. I have been on it today to test it and it has run for 8 hours perfectly. Is this computer worth keeping? I see the numerous posts about this very problem. has anyone figured out exactly why these units do this, and should i get my money back and move on before i get in to deep?

    Hey davie and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    Is this an ALS model?
    Well look in terminal and see if there's something in the log. Go to; applications > utilities > terminal. If something's there post it.
    Also there's this:

    So check for bad caps on the logic board and also in the power supply.

  • Late 2007 MacBook Pro Randomly Shuts Down

    I have a late 2007 15-inch MacBook Pro (A1226). It has a 2.20 GHz Core 2 Duo, 5 GB of memory (a stock 1 GB stick and a 3rd party 4 GB stick), and a stock 200 GB 7200 RPM Hitachi hard drive. I have had issues with it shutting down in certain situations.
    (1) The laptop shuts down abruptly whenever I pick it up and walk around with it. This consistently happens within 5 seconds of picking it up. I know for a fact that this never used to be problem. I only started noticing this happening about 5 months ago.
    (2) The laptop randomly shuts down abruptly when I'm using it on a hard stable surface that does not block any vents. This does not necessarily happen when it is under a heavy load. When it happens, the laptop suddenly shuts down and the screen suddenly goes black. I have to wait about 5 to 10 minutes for it to be willing to turn back on again. This happens one to three times a day, and it is completely unpredictable. Below is a graph of various temperatures up until the point when it shuts down. None of these temperatures are high enough for me to suspect that this issue is caused by overheating.
    I would really appreciate it if anyone had any insight into why these random shutdowns are happening. Thanks!

    I suggest an Apple Hardware Test and see if that picks up any issues:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    An appointment at an Apple genius bar seems like a good idea.  Since you say that the problem occurs when you pick up the MBP, you should be able to recreate it for the technicians.
    Though I do not believe that it is connected with yo ur problem, I would suggest replacing the 1 GB RAM chip with a 2 GB RAM chip.  That is the best RAM combination for your MBP.
    Ciao.

  • 24" iMac mid 2009 random shut downs

    I am really struggling with my machine, since several months it crashes/shutdown repeatedly.
    It is always the same behaviour, the power just goes out, no program crashes, no spinning beach balls, no nothing, just a blank screen and of course no power. It can happen while browsing or while watching Youtube or just while creating a simple document. It really is random.
    I have done everything I possibly could including:
    1. Full re-install after clearing the HDD and overwriting it several times with "0"
    2. Booting and running from an external drive with same OS
    3. Running both the small and big hardware tests without any indication of errors
    4. Running memory-tests and also replacing the old 2x2 GB with 2x4 GB of RAM
    4. Have had it plugged in directly to the wall outlet and together with other machines in a plug board
    5. Left the machine a service shop and they did the same things but could not get the machine to crash in two weeks(ARGH!)
    6. Went back to the service shop and they had the machine running for a month straight without any crash/shutdown.
    None of the above has made any difference at all. I collected my machine from the shop again recently and the first random shut down appeared afte les then 24 hours, it has crashed 3 times since then.
    The system log does not show anything that can give it away.
    It seems like I can induce the crash by multitasking and having a lot of tabs open running flash in the browser, but I get no errors in the logs to indicate that I am right, but the crashes mostly happen when I browse (but that is also what the machine is used for 90% of the time) I use Chrome, Safari and Firefox randomly.
    I have found numerous posts on different forums from people stating the exact same thing, I really like Apple but this is unbearable to say the least, there is officially nothing wrong with my machine since it happens randomly, without any error messages, but I can not use my computer since it can shut down at any given time.
    What to do?
    Thanks in advance
    Andreas

    Have you tried Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    From that link:
    Power
    The computer doesn't respond to the power button when pressed.
    A portable Mac doesn't appear to respond properly when you close or open the lid.
    The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly.
    The battery does not appear to be charging properly.
    The MagSafe power adaptor LED doesn't appear to indicate the correct activity.

  • Macbook Pro Randomly Shuts down...SMC Reset only temporarily

    I have a somewhat concerning problem with my 2011 Macbook Pro (15"). 
    It started two nights ago, didn't happen yesterday, and happened again today.  It has also fried two iPhone chargers.  Here's the story:
    On Sunday night, my Macbook randomly shut down.  Wouldn't restart, nor would it even charge (the LED on the charger didn't even come on).  So after trying everything I could (namely, PRAM, SMC, etc.), I finally took the bottom of the computer off, unplugged the battery internally, did a hard reset of the SMC, and everything was back up and running.  That night, I got a strange error when I plugged my iPhone in to charge:  USB is using too much power and has been disabled, or something along those lines.  Weird--but my computer didn't shut down again, so I shrugged it off.
    Fast forward to tonight--all worked fine until I plugged a NEW iphone charger into the computer.  This same cord worked fine this afternoon, but I got the "USB drawing too much power" message and then nothing.  The computer shut off, had to unscrew the bottom and do another hard reset, and here I am.
    I've tried to figure out just what might have caused this.  I did buy a charger from my university's bookstore that I do not think was Apple branded.  Is it possible that it somehow fried my battery? Or do I have a bigger issue - motherboard, RAM, etc.? The computer (when I get it to finally power back up) works fine and no files have been lost, so I don't think it's harddrive related. 
    If anyone can shed some light on this problem, please let me know.  I've searched for a long time to find a problem similar to mine and haven't found any answers other than the generic "Reset SMC," or "Reset PRAM."  I know how to and have done both of these things.  Do I need a new battery? I ordered a charger directly from Apple and have only used it since the first shut down.

    There's only a limited amount of things you can do on a laptop repair-wise: tiny and tightly packed components are a far cry from yesteryear's huge boxes with individual removables.
    Is the USB error coming in regardless of which USB slot you use? Have you reproduced this error with other USB devices that draw a charging current or significant power?
    If the problem is indeed that USB is drawing too much power, it could be a short in the USB circuitry, or it could be a short with your phone. Try charging someone else's iPhone. The concept with current is that it's "pushed by voltage" and "drawn by a resistance in a closed circuit." If the voltage is too high, or if the resistance is too low (short circuit), then you will end up where you're at.
    Also, it could be helpful to review your system log. In spotlight, write "terminal" then type in the shell prompt (without the quotes) "cp /var/log/system.log ~" this will put a file on your desktop that you can open with a text viewer, search for the word "USB" towards the end of the file, and see what you can make of it. Post anything here that seems suspicious. Warning: it'll be cryptic and hard to read!
    So,
    - Try different USB slots on your computer
    - Try different USB power-drawing devices
    - Try different iPhones or iPods
    - Review the system log and post any suspicious lines

  • T410 randomly shutting down

    I've had plenty of issues with the T410 already. Got a key stuck error which forced support to change the main board AND keyboard.
    Shortly after that the computer started randomly shutting down. Wether on power cord or battery the PC just suddenly dies. in a split second disk and fan stop spinning, screen goes black, so do all lights. Only the green light by the FPR lights up. 
    Now nothing makes the computer boot. Not pressing the power button or sweeping my finger (which does turn the green light off). 
    In order to bring the foul thing back to life I need to unplug the power cable, remove the battery and only then does it respond to pressing the power button. Main problem is that it is now off warranty, and even if it was under warranty, I'm not willing to drop the thing on the depot for 60 days like last time around. 
    So, here goes a long shot hoping that someone has a magic bullet to solve this. 
    OS: windows 7 pro, 64 bit
    type: 2516-cto

    Blown capacitors on the motherboard can sometimes cause a problem like this allow they usually make the machine shut down much quicker than 4 hours..If you open the machine you will the tops of the capicitors bulging if this is the problem.

  • Another iMac Randomly Shutting Down!!

    Hey Everyone. I'm new to the forums, though i've always used them as a resource over the years to learn more or troubleshoot issues. Hopefully, now, someone can help me with mine personally.. :-/
    I have an intel 2.8gH Aluminum iMac that I purchased fall of 2007. Only now, almost 2 years later is it suddenly (just started yesterday) turning off randomly. Everytime it will not allow me to turn it back on until a minute or so has passed. I have reset the SMC as well as the PRAM several times. This afternoon, it is now to the point where I cannot even keep it running long enough to download an app to up the fan speeds. Although, I don't think it is overheating in the first place.
    I'm really hoping it is just the power supply, as I've seen that be the fix for SOME iMacs i've found at other online forums. Though, the upper corner of my iMac is not hot or smelling burnt out at all. I have found more than several online forums of people complaining about their iMacs randomly shutting down, and am praying it is not the logic board, as that is a $900+ fix.
    please, someone give me insight to how i can check if its the power supply or something else? I use this iMac for recording all of my music, editing video, and (of course) playing WoW lol. Currently using my 1st gen macbook.

    I bought my iMac 20" in May 2006. I had been very impressed with it until one day I shut it down to move it to another room. I could not get it to turn back on. I had to leave it unplugged for a few hours. Since then it has started randomly shutting itself down, turning itself off and not starting up again until I unplug and leave it unplugged for a few hours. I had purchased the Apple Care? Extended Warranty, and the fault occurred during this three year period, though I failed to take the fault seriously and did not phone during the period. It was just after the three year warranty that I phoned Apple Care? about it and everyone I spoke to said they had not heard of this problem occurring. I wonder now, why the Apple Customer Service Team don't visit the discussions.apple.com where they will find quite a significant number of like problems occurring with the iMac sold in 2006.
    My reason for paying the nearly triple price point for an Apple Computer was the quality of the build and my expectation that I would get far longer life out of my purchase. I don't like buying throw away products and I gladly save and wait longer to buy better quality products. Just as an example and point of reference. In 2000 I purchased a second hand Dell with 8GB HDD and 256Mb RAM. I paid $1000 for it and I gave it to my father when I got this iMac and he still has it running today. It has not had a single hardware issue in nine years. Good luck I suppose. However, after spending around $3000 on this iMac, and Apple now telling me the Logic Board is generically, non specifically 'failing', it goes against my pure desire for non disposable, throw away products to buy another Logic Board for AUS $1064. For one, I don't believe it has given me anywhere near the life that I expected from a product with such a high price point and solid reputation for quality, nor do I feel confidence in buying anything more 'Apple' after the dealings I have had with them over this problem. I am amazed that Apple would sell a 'failing' Computer to their customers and then expect that the customer will spend more money, considerably more, on a product that may be equally faulty and that they will not stand behind either.

  • Imac power issue - randomly shuts down & won't turn on again

    Hello
    Just wondering if anybody could help us with this issue as the Apple Genius's failed to...
    Our early 2006 Intel Imac has recently started to switch off at random times. There doesn't seem to be any particular point at which it will do this and no warning either. It's as if somebody has pulled the plug out but the power supply has not been touched! It then often won't allow you to switch it on again until you have left it over night - or sometimes it will switch on after a few minutes.
    It is very frustrating as you never know when it might happen, it has been ok for a couple of weeks but now it has done it twice in the last two days.
    We did take it to the Apple Store, who said they had kept it on for a day and could not replicate the issue so therefore there is nothing they can do...
    If anybody can shed any light on this mystery it would be VERY much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Hello and welcome to the club of "random shut down".
    Since 8 days I am also having this problem on an early 2006 2 GHz intel core duo with OS 10.4.11 After approx. 5-10 minutes it shuts down and the only way to wake up again is to disconnect the plug, wait 10 sec and connect it again and push the start button on the back.
    There a many discussions ongoing and also many suggestions (SMC reset, memory replacement, change the power cord etc.). Nothing really worked in my situation. My assumption is something with overheating, but the widget "istatpro" or "tempmonitor" are showing not more than 35°C on the CPU at a max.
    I found a little tool called "smcFanControl" to adjust the minimum speed of the fans (my settings: ODD 2850 rpm, HDD 3150 and the CPU fan at 2160 rpm) and since that adjustment the working period seems to be much longer. Sure, there is an annoying noise now, but I can use the imac again.
    Hope that there will be a better solution soon.

  • IMac mid-2011 randomly shuts down.

    Hello,
    My iMac was fine until yesterday. It all of a sudden started randomly shutting down. It looks like a power loss. As if i just pulled the power out of the wall outlet.
    After it shuts down, the fans start up again but the screen does not come on. (so it's just the fans blowing) I have to "force shutdown" it from this state by holding the power button in order for the computer to start up again.
    Things I have already done:
    1. Reset PRAM
    2. Reset SMC (by unplugging it for an hour)
    3. Run disk utility, fix the disk permissions etc.
    4. Run the extended apple hardware check. (all checks out fine.)
    5. remove my Kensington RAM (leaving just the samsung ram in there)
    6. Remove the samsung RAM (leaving just the Kensington ram in there)
    7. Use another wall outlet, does not change anything.
    8. I ran a program called memTest to check the RAM. It all checks out fine.
    The RAM that i have bought has been in there for at least a year... So I don't think that that is the problem. It was the specially for iMac RAM. So it's not just some random RAM.
    I have unplugged all external peripherals. Still does the same thing. If I look into the folder where kernel logs are saved there are none that match the times of shutdown. (also none close to it)
    My model is the:
    21.5 inch 2.7 GHz Intel i5 with Radeon HD6770M graphics card.
    As it's a pretty old pc i no longer have warranty or anything like it...

    The machine is as clean as it can be. I even cleaned out the RAM ports (while replacing the RAM) Of course I did not check INSIDE the computer, but there is no way to get in without voiding warranty as far as I know. The environment is just regular room. Normal humidity, normal everything.
    As for how old. Its the Mid-2011 21.5 inch model bought in october 2011-ish.
    I have some new interesting findings. I reset the PRAM for the gazillionth time and the temperature sensors were back. So everything seemed ok again. The weird thing is though... It booted once with the PRAM messed up (fans blowing on max) and I decided to leave it that way to see if it was doing anything. It stayed on for an hour. Then I decided to turn it off and reset the PRAM. After the reset the problem was back. Within 5 minutes of booting it shut down again.
    I'm really baffled by this. The temperature sensors all check out normal. (they're all 30-40 degrees) But the fact that it stayed on so long with messed up PRAM makes me believe the problem doesnt have anything to do with power supply or something like that... It might be in the PRAM itself. Would a reinstall of OS X fix anything? (I will be having a hard time getting my data off of the pc tho...)

  • Website randomly shuts down during access

    I am having a problem with a particular website (booking.com) on my ipad (version1). Every time i try to search or even sign in the website randomly shuts down in the middle of the process. I have tried deleting the bookmark, cleared history and cookies. Any suggestions how to fix the problem?

    Likely something in the site design that does not play well with iOS.
    Try downloading the app from the app store.

  • My iPhone 4 randomly shut down and won't turn back on.

    My iPhone randomly shut down whenever I got a phone call twice in maybe 5 minutes. Now it wont turn on no matter how many times I plug it in or use the home and lock button. Is there anything I can do? After the first time it just turned back on but now it won't.

    I just had this happen. Hold the lock and home button down for ten seconds.
