Dual G5 freezes at random times...

Computer Specs:
Dual 2.0 GHz G5 (2003)
2.5 GB RAM (2 x 1GB, 2 x 256 MB)
160 GB HD SATA slot A (boot disk)
500 GB HD SATA slot B
OS 10.5.8
My computer has been working fine for the past 6 and half years, and then I decided to move my office. Once I hooked my computer up in the new location, it started behaving very erratically. At random times (2 mins - 4 hours) after it starts up, it freezes and the fans kick into overdrive. I have tried the following with no improvement.
Removed my 2 x 256 MB Ram. (Operated with 2 X 1GB).
Removed my 2 x 1 GB Ram. (Operated with 2 X 256 MB).
Reset PRAM.
let run with no USB (including mouse and keyboard) or firewire devices connected.
booted from CD (freeze occurred while booted from CD)
Restored from Time Machine to new Drive and replaced the boot disk.
Can not run AHT, because the restore disk provided to me 6 years ago is not recognized.
Seems like a Hardware issue... Any ideas?

I know this particular problem has already been answered, but I'll offer my recent experience for others that have random freezes.
I have a similar G5: Dual 2.5GHz running 10.5.8. I started getting random freezes where the system was not responsive to the keyboard or mouse. The display did not change--just suddenly lock up at what appeared to be random times in different applications. I had to force shutdown from the power switch.
I tried numerous things. I booted from a good backup--still froze randomly. I reset PRAM, changed the battery, moved RAM around, changed internal disk drives, no dust -- didn't help.
During one attempt to install a fresh OS from the Install Disk, the system froze at the point where I entered my Apple ID and password. Before shutting down again, I disconnected the Ethernet cable and suddenly the keyboard and mouse were responsive again. I booted again with the cable disconnected and connected via wireless. No more freezes. The G5 had been connected to a NetGear gigaswitch along with several other computers and NAS, none of which had problems. I power cycled the switch and connected the G5 to a different switch port and have had no freezeups since. I didn't realize that a bad Ethernet connection would cause the OS to lockup -- would have expected a timeout or other error message.
Hope this helps.

  • MacBook Pro - Stall, Freezes at Random Times & Durations

    Hello all, hope you can help me with a perplexing problem.
    Starting this past Monday, my MacBook Pro (specs below) started stalling or freezing at random times. The stalls will sometimes last for 5 seconds and then I can use it again, other times it'll last for 30 seconds to several minutes. On occasion it'll freeze up so hard that I have to do a hard shut down. When it stalls, I can move my mouse and even select other applications which sometimes work. More often then not, it stalls all the programs and I just have to wait.
    It does not seem to matter what applications are running or how many. Generally I run a web browser (Firefox, Chrome, or Safari - I've been alternating to see if one is better) with one or two tabs open. I've worked flawlessly for several hours with Browser, Word, and Terminal open, then it freezes up when I try to open something like System Preferences (or Spotlight or whatnot). So there is no real pattern when it comes to applications.
    The temperature hovers around 55 - 65. RAM usage rarely tops half and CPU fluctuates but nothing outside of what you'd consider normal (i.e. it never pegs at 100% when stalled or frozen).
    I've tried the following:
    * Ran Rember (1 pass, then another 25 passes over night) - No Errors
    * Ran Verify Permissions - No Errors
    * Ran Verify Disk - No Errors
    * Reformatted and Reinstalled the OS from scratch (problem continues)
    * Repeated the Rember, Verify Disk Permissions, and Verify Disk - No Errors
    * Reset PRAM and NVRAM
    * Reset the SMC
    * Ran Applejack and all the tests associated with it.
    In the Console system.log, there was an instance of unknown-dev: flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5. After doing some Googling, I ended up disabling Journaling to see if that would make a difference. I was able to run for about 25 minutes before it froze up again.
    Any other thoughts or theories that I could try out? Much appreciated.

    If you done that, then I believe you have a hard drive issue. Did you zero-out the drive (select "Zero out data" under the "Security Options" button in your Disk Utility) before you reinstalled a new system? If not, you might try that to map out any bad sectors first, before replacing the drive.

  • Firefox 18.0.1 often freezes, at random times, since about 31 Jan 2013

    2 Feb 2013
    Concerns: Firefox 18.0.1 often freezes, at random times, since about 31 Jan 2013
    I am using Mozilla Firefox 18.0.1, Windows Vista, PC, Desktop.
    My Mozilla Firefox freezes since about 31 Jan 2013 at random times quite often, when I do see TV or videos, also with YouTube videos. It freezes especially when I do start TV or a Video, sometimes also it freezes when the video is running for some time. I do use Firefox mostly only for TV and videos, so else I do not see.
    Some days earlier (26 January 2013), I had installed the upgrade of the new Norton Internet Security 2013. The two Norton add-ons on for Firefox, I have both deactivated.
    I can get out of the freezing, when I do click to end the Internet connection. After I have waited for about 5 seconds, the Mozilla Firefox browser can be moved again with the cursor. After I click to close the Firefox, and wait for about 5 seconds, the freezing also does end.
    I did do two Windows restores, one to 1 week ago and the next to 2 weeks ago. After the restore, when I started Mozilla Firefox, it was at first Firefox 17. But to my very bad luck, Firefox started immediately to update to Firefox 18.0.1 I had seen this updating on Help – About Firefox. There were good times, when people could choose themselves which version of Firefox they wanted.
    After the restore, I had also downloaded the latest Adobe Flashplayer version (about version 11.5), but the freezes have remained the same.
    Is there a possility to prevent the automatic update of Firefox? So that I could choose which version of Firefox, I do want. When there is a serious bug in Firefox, I could nevertheless use Firefox instead of changing to the Internet Explorer. I know I myself am responsible to prevent hackers from entering my computer. I have read that 80% of users in Germany do not have any Internet Security against hackers at all.
    My Internet Explorer until now does not freeze.

    This is not a solution. It is a gun in the mouth. Give us specific solutions, not "throw everything away" palliatives that involve no thought, investigation or effort of any kind on Mozilla's part. 95% of the utility of FF is not FF itself, but addons. After many years of developing that context, throwing it all away to get back a rudimentary 5% is as unacceptable as it is stupid.

  • My macbook freezes at random times?

    Hey everyone, i just got this macbook a few weeks ago second hand. i've replaced the top case, and reformatted and installed osx 10.5.8 on the computer. and upgraded the ram to 2 gb. Every since day one i've had problems with the computer freezing at random times. Either trying to do multiple things at once will cause the spinning wheel, and won't allow me to do anything. Sometimes it's just an application that will freeze or sometimes the whole computer freezes as the time gets stuck at the time it froze. The computer will also freeze when i'm in the middle of moving larger files from a firewire external drive onto the computer. Any ideas or suggestions? I've ran permissions repair and repaired the drive and neither help at all. It also took me 3 attempts to install the o.s. as it would freeze, i thought that was due to the 512mb of ram it had installed. so i installed the 2gb once i got the o.s. finally installed.

    Heres a log from the most recent freeze.

  • My daughter's Mac book freezes at random times. Apple's been unable to fix it. Her college grades are suffering. How can I convince Apple to just replace it?

    My daughter's Mac book freezes at random times. Apple's been unable to fix it. On most visits to the Apple store, it works fine. On other visits, it acts up, and they replace something like the RAM or the hard drive.  She lost a semester for university course notes, and currently can't use it at all, because Apple sent it out for 'diagnostics'.  Her college grades are suffering. How can I convince Apple to just replace it?

    Apple policy in the past has been to try and repair three times.  If is not successful, then replace.  So keep accuarate records on when and what was repaired so you can make your argument that it needs to be replaced.

  • Satellite C660-184 freezes at random times whilst playing a game.

    Laptop Freezes at random times whilst playing Football Manager 2011. The game isn't graphic intensive and had worked for about a month with no problems, only recently has it begun to freeze and the only thing i can do is switch off my laptop by the power button.

    I'm at a loss to explain what is happening.
    Help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi buddy,
    > The game isn't graphic intensive and had worked for about a month with no problems, only recently has it begun to freeze
    This could mean that the notebook is overheating now
    The reason of overheating is dust that is blocking the fan so the notebook gets hotter
    I would recommend cleaning it using compressed air spray to blow out the dust from cooling ventilators. You can do this without disassembling the computer so its very easy and takes 5 minutes only.
    Just remove the battery and disconnect AC/DC adapter before you do this.
    For example I clean my notebook every 4 months because a lot of dust is coming out so its worthwhile.

  • Ipod touch (2gen) keeps freezing at random times..

    My ipod touch keeps freezing at very random times. It has been doing it a lot more frequently, mostly while texting from textPlus Silver app. but it will freeze up sometimes during sleep mode and it wont even turn on unless I restart it. sometimes it would freeze while watching youtube videos. butr its all very random. any tips?

    Edit: I have tried resetting it, let it charge fully, restoring it, everything. but to no avail

  • Firefox freezes at random times and I have to end process, restart to use it

    I have no problems with running Firefox.
    I got a new laptop, downloaded Firefox and have had problems with it randomly freezing. It will attempt to load a page, freeze and won't unfreeze no matter how long I wait. I have to open the task manager and end the firefox.exe process to close the program and restart it.
    My initial belief was that I may have downloaded a wrong bit version.
    I'm currently running Windows 7 with a 64-bit operating system. I am running Firefox 3.6.13.
    Any help?

    It sounds like you are getting in a hurry.
    If you force Firefox to close in a hurry, then it won't normally start until you re-start the computer. There are ways around this, but I'm not going to go into them right now.
    None-force way to close Firefox down: Close the program and wait. Do something else. Firefox appears as if it is closed, but it's not. Firefox cleans out cookies and it's cache after you close it. That takes a few minutes. You can't restart it while it's doing house cleaning.
    After it is done, then you can restart Firefox normally. You can watch it in the Task Manager.
    The same applies if you are installing javascript. You have to wait a few minutes.
    As for running it with multiple tabs, I usually have 5 or 6, or more, tabs open at a time. Have no idea what the problem is there. Firefox needs special permission by use of a pop-up option to close with multiple tabs open.

  • Why is my computer freezing at random times? (PLEASE HELP)

    Okay, I'll have a few applications open at once (hardly anything that uses much memory) and it randomly freezes when i'm in the middle of something. When it happens i'll either wait 10 minutes for it to respond again (say if I were to press the volume and brightness key multiple times when it's frozen to see if it were responding, it'll unfreeze and it will do all those keys at once 10 minutes later.) This is really getting on my nerves. Multiple times, I have had to shut the computer down by the power button after a long time of waiting (during unsaved work).
    Edit: During the freeze process, I also can't move my cursor around, but I can alt/tab and press only a few buttons from F1-F12.
    If anyone has any solutions, please reply ASAP.
    Here are the spec's of my Macbook:

  • My Macbook Pro Retina (2012) freezes at random times

    Hi,
    This usually happens when I have Google Chrome up, but it happens about a couple times every week. I would be on Google Chrome and click another tab only to find a blank page. Then the rest of my screen becomes unclickable, soon followed by an unresponsive cursor. At this point, I have to hard power-down by holding the power button. My computer seems perfectly fine afterward, but I'm concerned that I will lose my work if for example I'm working on an important paper or project.
    Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution? Thanks for your help!

    I made a post here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5481839?start=2715&tstart=0#24833543

  • PowerMac G5 Dual 2GHz freezes any time, boots sometimes with one processor

    Since two weeks I experience freezes at different up-and-runnng time. It could happen at grey startup screen (after a while fan goes wild), could be after some minutes working in a full booted user environment.
    I run AHT several times, no error reported. When I took out all RAM except for Apple RAM, it still freezes at some time.
    Now, by random, my machine starts sometime with only one processor and is stable for hours (only the fan runs higher and cpu load is most of the time near 100 percent). Activity shows one bar only, System Info says: Number of CPUs=1. I have no idea which processor runs and which "sleeps" deadly. iStat tells only about CPU A as having a temperature, the fans of CPU A run higher, but the fans of CPU B run also on a lower level.
    The "U3 Heatsink" reads 65-70 degree Celsius. Is that (too) high?
    Only once I got a kernel panic during verbose startup. It read:
    "System failure: cpu=1; code =00000001 (corrupt stack)
    unalined fram address: 0x00000001"
    I am tempted to shut down one CPU with Open Firmware command, but will it be the defect one? At least the machine is doing something regular then, but is slow...
    Any help is much welcome!
    Yours, Whoopy

    My PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 also has this problem.
    It all started one sad afternoon a month or so ago. I noticed that my computer was on and the fans were on full speed. As soon as I moved the mouse to shut it down, I got the wheel of death!
    I had no choice but to do a force shutdown.
    The next day, I turn my computer on and it just stayed on the gray screen with the dark gray apple, and no spinning thingy.
    So once again, I had to force shutdown.
    Pressing the 'Option' key did gave me the screen where one can select where to boot from; the main HD, booting CD, etc. but none of the worked.
    When I chose to boot from my internal HD or from the restore CD it would just get stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
    I pressed the PMU button = no change
    I did a PRAM reset = it brought my G5 to life but then a few minutes later it froze and history repeated itself.
    Did a PRAM reset again and this time didn't work.
    Tried booting from my PowerBook G4 HD via firewire = frozen gray screen
    When I pressed the 'T', i get the FireWire logo and I'm able to boot my G5's HD using my PowerBook G4. But when I put my G4 on firewire mode and try to boot my G5 by selecting the OS of the G4, I still get the frozen screen, so the problem is not with the HD.
    One time I was able to boot my G5 from the 'Restoration CD' and I used the Utilities to Fix permisions, and repair the HD but still the computer would freeze and same old story.
    Since I got this problem, It has work normal only 3 occasions but no longer than an hour until the fans go crazy and freezes.
    I tried different memory sticks and no improvement.
    My AppleCare expired on May, and my G5 went down 2 or 3 months after that.
    This feels part of an strategy called "Get a(nother) Mac". Where comps are design to last just a little after AppleCare expires and then BOOM! no choice but to spend some serious cash on fixing it or use that money plus more to get one of the resent mac which have had some changes since one bought the mac that just went to apple heaven.
    Anyways, I feel that the problem will be solved by replacing the two processors, heatsinks, or whatever they called it.
    I took apart my G5 today and I'm not sure but it seems that the heatsinks might use some kind of gas to cools the CPUs or Chips and I think that gas is over.
    Has anyone swap the heatsink units and noticed any difference?
    Here's of the heatsink for the PPC G5 2.0

  • Dual monitors go blank at random times

    My mid-2010 Mini works fine, but lately my dual Dell monitors have started going blank at the same time. The only recourse is to power down the Mini and restart and the monitors come back fine. This has happened twice just today. A few months ago I went through a period where one monitor would go blank. That seemed to cease, but now both will go blank at random times.
    Any updates on this problem?

    Then what connections and adapters are you using..?
    I have the same 2010 Mac Mini w/8GB RAM set up using dual 21.5" Samsungs DVI monitors. One is on the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI adapter and the other is on a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter. I'm using the Kanex adapter, because I had nothing but the same trouble that you are describing using other Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters including a couple of Apple branded ones. 

  • Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 beachballing and then freezing at random intervals

    My computer at work has been beachballing and then freezing at random intervals for the past week or so.
    What happens is that all processes stop. The cursor is still responsive for a while, and then the application I'm in, regardless of what it is, “beachballs.”
    Occasionally I'm able to wait it out and the computer becomes usable again and other times it just freezes. Then I can't force quit so I have to do a hard power cycle and then start up again. This happens every day, at least 4 times a day.
    I've been keeping the system.log open to look for any tell-tale issues and noticed that during every crash I get the following information:
    3 kernel[0] disk)s3: data underrun
    3 kernel[0]
    and it repeats until the computer becomes responsive again or I decide to do a hard power cycle.
    In addition, I checked the System Profiler diagnostics area and found this:
     Last Run:    11/8/10 1:05 PM
      Result:    Failed
      Failure type:    Memory
      Memory slots:    DIMM6/J43, DIMM7/J44
    So…I switched out the offending bars and switched them for 1 GB bars and this problem was solved.
    The diagnostics result for the Power On Self-Test:
    Last Run: 11/10/10 6:21 PM
    Result: Passed
    However…I'm still experiencing beachballing and freezing problems with the same severity and frequency.
    Help!

    So, to clarify: do you suggest I use Disk Utility first to see if any problems are uncovered? Or should I use TechTool Deluxe instead and test the RAM with Memtest?
    My two cents would be use Disk Utility first. If you don't have the install disk handy, you can do the same thing with single-user mode. See this link for details: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
    You have to run it from single user mode (start with command-S keys held down until you get a Unix terminal screen.
    You can also run memtest from single-user mode, though I do not remember the command syntax offhand. Looking at an AppleJack log, though, I see the following command line entry that was used to run memtest on a three-pass check
    */usr/local/sbin/memtest all 3 -L*
    Running memtest from single-user mode tests more of the RAM because little is occupied by the BSD kernel.
    A snip of the terminal output running memtest:
    Test sequence 1 of 3:
    Stuck Address : ok
    Random Value : ok
    Compare XOR : ok
    Compare SUB : ok
    Compare MUL : ok
    Compare DIV : ok
    Compare OR : ok
    Compare AND : ok
    Sequential Increment: ok
    Solid Bits : ok
    Block Sequential : ok
    Checkerboard : ok
    Bit Spread : ok
    Bit Flip : ok
    Walking Ones : ok
    Walking Zeroes : ok
    Somewhat thorough, though no test is completely bulletproof.

  • Mail tool seems to freeze my system at seemingly random times

    Mail tool seems to freeze my system at seemingly random times for a couple of minutes once or twice an hour. What's going on?
    I've run permissions repair, & the disk repair run showed no problems. The disk is split into Mac & BootCamp partitions and there's about 80GB free on the Mac partition. I'm running 2 x 8GB DIMMs that have been carefully matched and extensively memtested and passed. This is an early 2011, 15 inch MBP with the 1.5 GB ATI GPU option.
