Dual 2.4ghz G5 startup issues

My computer starts up, but when I switch the power on at the wall, I have to wait until I hear a click before i press the power button. If I wait until it clicks again, it won't start. Since I installed Leopard, it mysteriously turns itself off after a few hours...how many I don't know. Apart from that it works fine. Any ideas?

If you are switching the power off at the wall, you are using up the juice in the PRAM battery and it can cause issues like this.

  • Have any ideas re: G5 startup issues? Long post...

    My dual processor G5 (purchased Jan. 2005) is in the shop, and, of course, out of warranty. It's been down for over two weeks. Here is the story of its demise:
    Installed 10.4.9 upgrade. Began having "launch systems" and crashdump/usb crash errors thereafter. Not a lot of info online regarding these problems, so I decided to do an archive and re-install of my system software.
    Started having intermittent problems restarting the G5. Either it would chime, but not kick on the monitor, chime and kick on the monitor but hang at the grey apple startup screen, or not chime at all, with which only the fans would come on. Apple Extended Hardware Test came back OK. Still had problems after removing my USB devices.
    Problems continued after the reinstall of the system software, eventually to the point where I could not even boot from a CD. When the G5 did operate, after a short period of use it would freeze, and I would have to force a restart and pray it would boot up completely. It would reliably freeze after waking it from sleep, but also froze in iPhoto and Finder as well.
    I have tried resetting the PMU and the PRAM with no improvement. Took it to an Apple Authorized Service Center, luckily only a couple miles from where I work. They tried booting with the Apple RAM only, then the third party RAM only, no improvement. Hard drive was completely reformatted and system reinstalled, no improvement. I am waiting to hear what else they've tried.
    My G5's serial # falls outside of those involved with the power supply issues. Yet, could this be a possibility? Any other ideas as to what the problem could be, or has anyone had similar issues?
    I freelance as a graphic designer and this has me in a panic. Now using the hubby's Intel iMac to run CS2 and it's a drag.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi and thanks for the input. I just spoke to the Apple service guy and he still insists there is not a hardware issue. Apparently there is an Apple technical doc, available only to authorized techs, that refers to this particular issue, and the fix is a download and install (firmware, perhaps?) He has to contact Apple and confirm my G5 is within the serial # range for this particular fix.
    That's my best interpretation of our discussion. He was rather cryptic. But he says it's not the power supply.
    I did an archive and install because, like an idiot, I did not have anything backed up at that point. After that failed, I used up my stash of DVDs and copied gigs to our iMac until the G5 gave out. I had run the hardware test several times and each time came back clean.
    Permissions were repaired before and after updates; had it freeze a couple times mid-update. Tried booting in safe mode and single-user mode and still had the same startup issues.
    To add insult to injury, I purchased a LaCie Porsche external drive as an eventual backup drive whenever the G5 returns. Hooked it up to our iMac to backup the items I saved off the G5. It failed after the second use. Returned for replacement.
    Thanks.

  • New StartUp Issue

    My new MacBook Pro 17" has been having startup issues recently. After I shut down, leave, and come back, the startup issue occurs.
    After pressing the power button, fans will go on, proccessing noises occur, HOWEVER, it just boots to a white/grey screen W/OUT the apple logo or round loading bar. The keyboard does not initialize either.
    The only thing that I have found to 'fix' it, is just to leave it powered off for an extended period of time. It will then boot up.
    I have tried many non-software related 'cures', and my compuer is completely up to date on all OsX software.
    Any ideas guys??

    you can try to boot to safe mode ( restart holding Shift )
    - you can attempt to boot to install disc and disk utility
    - you can boot to AHT ( apple hardware test ) to see what component is failing ( insert disc, restart holding D )
    - chances are, this is a hardware issue though. you will probably need repairs.

  • Startup issue - Process 'Starting Framework'

    Hi
    I seem to have a startup issue with NM2004s.  I get a Half Green/ Half Yellow icon in the MMC.  The 01 instance is always yellow and never progresses onto green.  I have a process status of 'starting framework'.
    Anyone else had this issue?
    Cheers
    Ian

    Hi Ian,
      I just installed the J2E on a laptop that already has a NSP instance.I am facing the same issue on the J2E.Do you remember if you could resolve this and how?
      Any hints would help.
    Thank you

  • Startup issue when having more than one database on machine

    Startup issue when having more than one database on machine:
    I’ve installed two databases.
    When I shutdown one of the database and try to start it up using
    Startup pfile=’…location..’;
    I get ora-12514: TNS: listener does not currently know of service rquirest in connect descriptor
    when I try it again after 3 seconds, I get a new error, ora-01041: internal error. Hostdef extension doesn’t exist
    Shutdown and Startup gave no problems when I had one database. Why am I getting problems when I have two databases?
    I’m using: show parameter pfile|spfile; to make sure I have the right parameter locations, so the error shouldn’t be from location.
    I’ve never installed two databases on one machine, so maybe I’m making a first-timer’s error.
    Anyone know how to get this working, i.e. starting and stopping DB without issues?
    Using oracle 11gR2 on Windows 7 64bit, all is working normal.
    Thanks,
    Ayman

    echo %oracle_sid%
    shows me the name of my first database.
    Still not working though.
    When I start the services of both databases using Services, I can connect and run queries from both of the database.
    Edited by: aymanzone on Jun 15, 2011 11:47 AMFirstly ... the Oracle Service for the instance should be started for the DB you are trying to connect or start.
    Next ... from the command prompt:
    set oracle_sid=<Instance_Name>
    sqlplus sys as sysdba
    startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'
    Now, if you want to start or connect to another DB which is on the same server (again assuming the Service is STARTED) ...
    From the same command prompt session or other ....
    set oracle_sid=<Other_Instance_Name>
    sqlplus sys as sysdba
    startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'

  • Another startup-issue

    I have a problem with system startup. My MacBook is pretty much brand new and the system is not cluttered or anything. And still the startup-process freezes even before the apple logo appears, so I just get the grey screen and that's it. I have read about other startup issues, but in those cases the computer at least booted until the apple logo was shown, so my case is slightly different.
    After unplugging my external USB hard drive startup works. It also works when I plug it into the other USB-slot. Other devices plugged into the problematic slot (keyboard, USB-stick) work and do not cause problems during startup.
    Any experiences with this problem? Would you say the USB-slot is broken in any way? Is it something that can be fixed?
    Ordinarily, I would just use the other slot and be done with it. Since the computer is brand new, however, I'd prefer to be on the safe side.
    Thanks in advance,
    Timo

    Hi
    +"Would you say the USB-slot is broken in any way?"+
    Possibly? Running an Apple Hardware Test might say?
    +"Is it something that can be fixed?"+
    Yes. It should be covered under the standard 1 year warranty regardless. Provided the fault is not down to wilful or accidental damage it will be covered under the warranty.
    You could connect the external USB hard drive in the affected slot an restart the mac in verbose mode (command+v) at restart. This should display error messages - if any - at the point where the start-up stalls. Possibly giving a clue as to what it's having a problem with? You may see an I/OKit error problem or something similar?

  • Black Macbook Startup Issues

    Hey guys.
    I'm having a distressful startup issue with my Macbook (13-inch, black). It's happened to me before, but that was a few months ago and everything was fine. Now it's happening again and I'm getting worried that the workaround I've found won't work anymore.
    The first time it happened, I wanted to restart my computer because I had installed a bunch of things and it was running a little slow. After I restarted, I heard the "GONG", the apple appeared, and the spinning gear also appeared. It seemed to be working, but after a few minutes, the apple changed to a "do not enter" sign.
    I tried resetting the P-RAM to no avail, and finally ended up starting up in Safe Mode (by holding the Shift Key) which at least allowed me to start up my computer. From there, I was able to reset and my computer started up normally after that just fine.
    Now, last night, the same thing started happening. There were a few different things that happened this time. For one, I got a big gray box on my screen that told me I needed to reset my computer in a few different languages. Secondly, (the only thing I can attribute the cause to) was that I had opened iChat for the first time in 5 months or so. Shortly after is when I got the box.
    So I reset and started having the same problem. I've reset in safe mode now, and am currently installing an update to OSX 10.6.3.
    The only programs running at the time of the incident were:
    -Google Chrome
    -Text Edit
    -iCal
    -iTunes
    Any help you guys have for me would be GREATLY appreciated! I took it to an Apple store the first time it happened and they didn't know what was wrong with it. :/

    Well, after booting in Safe Mode and installing the update, it started up just fine. I am afraid that this is going to happen again, though. Any help you guys have would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 - Startup issue from bad to worse

    I was facing similar startup issues like others (abrupt shutdown). I saw posts with similar issue so I tried the method (F1 on startup then F9 and F10) but ended up making things worse. Now it won't boot at all. Goes to "Windows didn't start successfully" and I have tried every single option (safe mode, last known good config and normal start) but nothing works.
    Any suggestion?

    remove the hdd and use linux live cd to check if it boots.

  • Intermittent Startup Issues, Fan Reving

    Has anyone else had startup issues with the G5's? I have had to re-seat memory in my lab on 3 machines and this seems, so far, to have alleviated the problem.
    The funny thing is I have had these machines for about 8 months and never had this problem. My computers are locked and access to the physical memory is impossible.
    Just curious?
    Once I tried to run in Open Firmware the computer beeped 3 times, thus telling me it was a memory issue. Each of the machines exhibited different symptoms??? One was caught in the blue screen. One in the gray screen with neverending fan reving and spinning startup wheel. Lastly, a frozen computer (in an account) where all keyboard and mouse commands are not recognized. Upon hard shutdown and restart either this machine ended up stuck in gray screen **** or started ok.

    Yeah, if you are in a humid lab (i.e. animal research lab) or some other unique environment sometimes the conditions can be less than ideal.
    Most electromechanical connections, such as the slots where the RAM plug in or PCI card slots or cable connections, are more apt to become less than optimal in such a condition.
    Another problem tends to be that the G5 is a hunk of cold metal when powered down or even sleeping and in a cold room. Humidity loves to condense on cold metal and has been known to cause problems.
    However, since all you have had to do thus far is re-seat the RAM, the impact seems to be minimal at this time.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum 7125 - Switching from Single to Dual Opti - Startup Issues

    My problem is the following:
    I switched from Winchester 3200 single core to Dual Opteron 170.
    The BIOS indicates it reading the both cores with the ACPI lingo.
    I did patch the driver according to AMD with their specified download.
    Now, when I start up the computer, I have to restart several times to get it to run but it does run although later locks up either when not in use or after an hour or so of gaming (mech warrior mercs)  ???
    I have checked the power supply voltages and they are as indicated in my profile, but I am wondering if the power
    supply is not the problem.  I know opterons' require a little more umph than normal single cores and this one is 4 years
    old.
    What do you folks think?
    I would really hate to reinstall windows if it just a power supply issue.
    Thanks in advance for you advise.

    Reinstalling the operating system seems like awful lot of work if its the power supply.
    But I appreciate the advice.
    This rig is about 3 years old.  I will probably wait until I have some time to do this.
    What drivers do you think I need to get the USB function again for now?
    Thanks.

    "Reinstalling the operating system seems like awful lot of work if its the power supply."
    Get a decent PSU and re-test 1st, here can be found good PSU suggestions.

    "What drivers do you think I need to get the USB function again for now?"
    Just delete them from device manager, then windows should detect and install them automatically.

  • Macbook Startup Issue - Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My 2006 mac book had a start up issue a couple of years back, I'd boot her up to be greeted with a screen displaying a start up failed message in three different languages on a grey screen. http://www.minneapolispcrepair.com/images/mac%20error%20screen.jpg
    Looking into the issue I noticed this model of Macbooks had issues with their hard drives and they could be replaced under warranty. Brilliant, booked myself into see a Genius and ha presto a few weeks later my hard drive had been replaced. However a couple of weeks after the replacement the issue started happening again but after a few attempts the Macbook would fire up so it wasn't really an issue just a pain in the butt!! Now 18 months down the line its becoming a real issue again, it must take 7 or 8 attempts to fire the blasted thing up, 25 is my highest so how.
    My question is, what could be causing this start up issue, could it be the hard drive again???? as replacing the hard drive previously didn't really solve the issue in the first place?? Would apple replace this hard drive again????
    The MB is a late 2006 model with Dual Core run Snow Leopard
    Hope someone can help :o(
    Thanks

    This looks like a kernel panic. Try to startup the mac in safe mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455) and observe for a few startups whether the problem occurs again or not.
    If this solves the problem then you may have a problem with your software installation. Consider reinstalling os x or take a look at your system log file and search for kernel panics (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742).
    If the problem persists you may have an issue with your hardware. I would recommend to take it to an Apple Genius to have the system checked (free of charge afaik).

  • G5 Startup issue - question mark folder

    Hello -
    I am using a PowerMacG5 Dual 2.3 ghz with 1GB RAM
    OS 10.4.9
    No partitions or anything - just one large hard drive.
    It has started having an issue on startup :
    For a second, it shows the Flashing question mark folder, then starts up as normal.
    Not sure how long this has been happening, or what triggered it.
    It runs fine otherwise, except for not recognizing its Airport card.
    Latest Repair Permissions returns only the folllowing :
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”
    Determining correct file permissions.
    Permissions differ on ./private/var/log/secure.log, should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r-----
    Owner and group corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log
    Permissions corrected on ./private/var/log/secure.log
    Permissions repair complete
    The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
    But I want to avoid this becoming a larger issue - why would it be doing this Question Mark on startup and what can anyone recommend - clean install ? upgrade to 10.4.10 ? other ideas ?
    Thanks

    Hi infoAP-
    It sounds like it may be looking for a startup disk, doesn't find what it is looking for, and resorts back to the system drive.
    Take a look at your Startup Disk preference and make sure the drive of this particular mac is selected, unless you want it to boot from something else.

  • PowerMac G5 Startup Issues

    I've had my PowerMac G5 since March of 2005. In the last four days I've been getting kernel panics, frozen mice/keyboard issues, and most recently failure to startup.
    At the first sign of trouble I repaired permissions, and verified my two internal HDs with disk utility. Permissions were actually fine, and both disks passed, no problem. But I kept getting the kernel panic screen where it says, "You must restart your computer..." in four different languages on that darkened screen that drops down. I ran MacUpdate's Maintenance app to run all of OS X's maintenance scripts, but the problems persisted. A friend came over and installed Disc Warrior. He went through the system and said everything checked out. No errors or warnings.
    Throughout this process (it had been about two days at this point) the computer would sometimes startup and appear to be fine. I even downloaded and watched a show from the iTunes Store. Trying to close iTunes proved to be too much however, and I go the kernel panic screen again.
    From about this point forward I (nearly consistently) got the circle with a line through it just after the big grey apple screen. I tried resetting the PMU (several times), and the PRAM. No luck. I tried to get the computer to boot from the installation disc a few times, and eventually it worked. Kind of. It started to get into the process, checked the disc, checked the drive, and froze at the "Beginning the installation process" screen. I Removed some RAM (factory installed, no third-party) and forgot to put the fan assembly back in its place. Surprisingly it booted from the installation disc and once again I tried the "Archive and Install" option.
    This time it wouldn't let me move my User folders (which I guess is exepected). It went through the entire installation process, restarted, and began the "Welcome to Tiger" video. I did the registration stuff and it took my to the desktop. I played around for a little bit and all seemed well. I used a trial of AppZapper to removed Coda (which I kind of suspect might have something to do with this whole mess), and a few other apps I never use. No problems. Restarted the computer and re-inserted the fan assembly. I played around in Finder for a little bit. Checked out the archived user folders and it all looked good. Everything felt very speedy. I started Final Cut Pro 5. No problems. Started up Motion. I got to the "Create new projects / Start from a template" screen. Let it sit for a few seconds. Whole computer freezes. No kernel panic screen, just frozen. No sound from the hard drives. Nothing.
    When I restarted I got the circle with a line through it again. As soon as this symbol appears the fans begin to spin up until they're at full speed. So I shut it down by holding the power button.
    Reset PMU, started it up again, and had the same result.
    Reset the PRAM, and had the same result.
    And I just spent the past hour or so combing the discussion forums for any answers, but still no luck.
    Any suggestions / thoughts? Should I just take this thing in?
    PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   2GB RAM, NVIDIA 6800 Ultra DDL

    I actually couldn't even get the computer to boot from the installation disc after my second re-install attempt. Thanks though. I ended up taking it to the store afterall. Their initial response was that the logic board probably needs to be replaced, although they're not sure. I'm paying for the diagnostic process, so we'll see what comes from that.
    Thanks again.

  • Startup Issues - Long Pause

    Hi,
    My PowerMac G5, Dual 2.7, has been doing some strange things in regards to starting up and (only a couple times) going to sleep. Starting up, the issue is repeated every time:
    I hear the welcome chime (or only part of it, sometimes it cuts out half way) then I see nothing, hear nothing, for a slow count to 60 or more, then I get the gray screen and within ten seconds or less my system has started. It is almost as if my system hangs in the beginning -- it just started happening ... I used to have lightening fast startup all the time.
    The standby thing, which I can't repeat by choice, happens when I put the computer to sleep ... the actual CPU area makes this very audible clicking noise and the fans/cooling system run full blast ...
    Any thoughts ? I ran a Hardware Test (full), returned nothing. Where else can I investigate ?
    Thanks,
    Damon

    Hi --
    I didn't think to try the peripherals! Thanks. I unplugged the two USB hubs and the firewire drive, and it started up to a count of 15 ... moved right along. I will have to narrow it down to what is causing the problem and work from there.
    I will also try and run "repair disk" ... I think I need to do that from my Install DVD, though, as that it is grayed out when I run my system ...
    Thanks,
    Damon
