Fans, Freezes and General Discontent: Quad G5

I've had my Quad since Dec '05. Never had a real issue with the PowerMac itself (had a power management issue with one of my dual 23" monitors, Applecare sent me a new power box and voila, fixed). Recently, about a week and a half ago, I came into my office and heard loud ROARING.
Yup, my fans were trying to take the G5 off into space. I disconnected the power supply from my APC and rebooted. Everything seemed a-ok. Then progressively getting worse and worse. Occasional freezes up during processor intense activity. Most annoying: no more going to sleep or screen saving. The LCD monitors would just be instead of going night night or phasing off into screen saver heaven.
Fast forward to today, fans roaring, full freeze up on the system and having to shut down. Showing some bad RAM, I disconnected my 3rd party RAM (4 Gigs of it) and rebooted and it seemed fine. Went to sleep, awoke, went to screensaver land, etc.. Seemed fine. Then about an hour into it started back up with fan chaos. Then freeze ups. Currently I am trying to shift a ton of .psd and .jpg files from client folders onto an external HD and it's ok as long as I don't tax the system.
But I am a chronic taxer of the system and I want my G5 back. It doesn't seem to be RAM, I just can't figure out what else it could be.
Any and all help is most appreciated.

You may have an issue with your hard drive. Boot from your system CD, run Disk First Aid and repair your permissions. If you have DiskWarrior or Tech Tool Pro, try rebuilding your directories. Run your hardware tester once too.

  • Freezing! Mouse Freezing, Computer freezing and general stalling.

    I've got a new mac book pro 15". I've read a few problems about freezing issues, but haven't seen a real solution or of why it happens.
    It started today, when i browse, look at emails etc. It freezes sometimes the mouse, sometimes the operating system but not the mouse and sometimes everything, keypad and all. Very Frustrating!!
    It takes awhile to restart now too. I believe it started after i installed either Final Cut Pro or Azureus.
    Has anyone got any ideas or solutions of why this happens?
    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    _As an update:_
    Spoke to Apple Tech support today, they said it could be down to the Final Cut Pro as it is not compatible with my integrated graphics card, which is a Geforce 9600GT.
    But final cut pro works absolutely fine, starts up and i can edit fine.
    But for the sake of trying to fix my freezing issues, i got rid of all the connecting files to do with final cut pro.
    I also did a repair permissions and repair disk with the Mac osx dvd which Apple tech suggested too.
    Restarted...
    Still takes ages to restart and load up, and unfortunately still freezes.
    Will ring again to continue trying to fix the issue.
    Again any help towards this problem would be great, as i know alot of people suffer from it.

  • Seemingly random freezes and general sluggishness.

    Since I have updated to Snow Leopard my 20" iMac seems to be having some issues. various applications stall (iTunes, FireFox, iPhoto) or completely freeze seemingly at random. Not enough to prohibit use of the machine but often enough to cause concern. I have run DiskUtility to repair permissions, I have cleared out my cache files using Onyx but these stalls and crashes still seem to persist.
    I have posted the log from a single start up below. A few start up errors caught my attention but I admit I really do not completely understand what I am reading.
    _*Could not find: com.apple.ReportCrash.Self:*_ seems this would be console log related
    MenuCracker: There seem to be 3 errors in the log related to MenuCracker I have read that this is installed with some software but I am not sure what. I did have "Connect360.prefPane" and "MediaLink.prefPane" set to show their icons in the menu, but this error still persists after I set them to not do so.
    Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    -------------------

    I finally tracked down where MenuCracker was hiding as an invisible file:
    /Users/calvin/.webex/825/Sharing.app/Contents/Resources/WebexAppshare.menu/Conte nts/Resources/MenuCracker.menu/Contents/MacOS/MenuCracker
    The key for me was ".webex/825/Sharing.app" WebEx is a service by Cicso the company I work for uses for web based meetings. (www.webex.com)
    I had no luck finding an uninstaller from them so I did a search for invisible files. Amazing how many of those there are!
    Sure enough there was the .webex folder with a bunch of stuff they installed, probably about 2 years a go when I first use the service. This included this "Sharing.app" file that must have been loading on start-up and utilizing the MenuCracker hack.
    First I moved this to the trash. But because it was invisible this did not show up there and did not set the trash menu to allow emptying. Besides, I thought to myself, I should not just immediately delete it just-in-case. So I made a new visible folder on my desktop and moved it there.
    I then restarted and pulled up console to review the start-up log. Sure enough MenuCracker has now been removed:

    Time will tell if this solves my random freezes. I will give it some time to see and report back my findings to see if indeed this hack was causing my issues.
    Thanks to all for the input as well as the side banter about Snow Leopard. That has gotten very entertaining. I understand people are frustrated with an upgrade that causes them problems but to get that perfect world Apple would only allow us to use Apple sanctioned software so that they could test permeation of software/hardware to be sure these things didn't happen. Do you really want that? This is exactly what people are complaining about with the iPhone and iPad. you can't have it both ways now can you.

  • IPhone 3G songs skipping, freezing and generally playing up.

    I listen to my songs everyday on the way to and from work. And up until two days ago everything was working great.
    *Now, this may sound weird but, my songs start to skip or freeze or sound like an old LP on 78rpm.*
    Now the weird bit is that it is not the same song each time and it does not happen all the time.
    Info: iPhone 3G, Software Version 3.1.3, iTunes 9.0.2
    I am hoping that Apple support staff can assist please.

    Oh, yeah thats what my iTunes is going through as well, i find it really annoying, its been going on for couple of hours now. i just can't figure out why? + when i log-in the graphics became bigger, i mean really big,,, the new sh*tty Genius playlist is the worst thing since DRM... LOL (maybe)
    Sure the iTunes 8 is much better than before, *but with new features, comes new bugs*
    When will Apple learn??? just release a final product & a problem free version of iTunes!
    You guys made history with iPod & iPhone... so why's it that you guys can't get a music software to work properly!

  • Dual 2.0 G5 Freezes and Fans go crazy - I am going crazy

    It stops after one hour while installing Mac OS X prceeded by slowing processing and cursor, 30 seconds later fans kick into high gear.
    The error LED - Red – # 7 lit up.
    The computer stops responding occationally while installing Adobe CS2, Final Cut Pro 5. and others. Or when I leave it on for an hour, it freezes and the fans run very fast and noisy.
    The log file has the following line at the end.
    KernelEventAgent[37]: tid 00000000 received unknown event (12).
    I have reset the PMU according to Apple Support web site – and no difference.
    When I search the web site, http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302527 link says that we need to contact Apple service if LED light #7 is RED as my case.
    It will cost me more than 300$ to send the unit back to the nearest Apple Service Centre.
    There is the same question in Expert exchange - but to get answer, you have to pay and subscribe.
    It seems that this problem exist for seveeral dual, quad G5s. Why can't Apple fix it and still selling those G5s. It's shameful what Apple have done to loyal Mac Users.

    Nick,
    I know many G5 users who never had this error. Your machine is under a year old if it is a dual-core G5. You have a hardware warranty. I would call AppleCare and tell them your predicament and see if you can avoid having to pay that fee if your machine is under a year old or under AppleCare:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
    You don't necessarily have to go to the nearest Apple Center if you have an authorized service center nearby either. Though I would take this matter up with AppleCare by phone.

  • Its just stops, freezes, and the fans come on.....

    This the third time in 2 days. I have been using my Imac for a year with no problems. So I'm not freaking out but like an a** I didnt get apple care. Oh I have a business so I can buy it. Whatever. In cases any fellow mac-ers didn't know if you have a business you can buy apple care after the original warrenty runs out.
    Anyways
    My (baby) Imac will just freeze and about 30 seconds go by, and the fans come on like a helicopter. I let it sit for a cople of mins and saw no change. I just turned it off. Has anyone experianced this?

    Shifty, could you please post where you got the information that you can buy AppleCare after your warranty runs out? As fas as I know, it can only be purchased before or on, the last day of your original warranty.
    As to your fan problem, look and see if your serial number is among those in Apple's Repair Extension Program, if so, your repairs, which probaly will include a new Power Supply Unit and logic board, will be made under the extended warranty.
    Please post back with the information,
    thanks,
    Miriam

    I've got the same problem! I'm very upset, because It's been only a week since I got my MBP, my first mac.
    It happened after I had installed Flash and Adobe's creative suite cs2. I've used Flash for one day, normally. Then, the next time I turned it on, it took 20 minutes for the menu to appear and the icons on my desktop! I couldn't use any of my applications any more after that due to some error, and the problem remains. I've re-installed OS X, throwed away all of the applications that didn't come with the computer, and it still takes a while, like 5 minutes, to appear anything on the desktop. That is, WHEN it appears, because sometimes nothing appears on my desktop at all. I have to open my docs through the Finder window.
    another thing, when trying to transfer files from my ipod nano to the mbp, I had a hard time to, when the files were larger than 100megas, the transfer just froze.
    I really don't know what to do...

  • Late MBP 13 Retina fan running and OS freezing

    late MBP 13 Retina fan running and OS freezing

    Yes, Vm lets you sett how much memory you would like to dedicate to the platform. So you should be running it with 2gb on Mac and 2gb on your Vm. If you ever run more games that would require more RAM space I would recomend upgrading to 8gb.

  • HD recycling leading to temporary freezes and directory damage

    Hi all
    I have an iMac 7, bought beginning of 2008.
    I have had no problems with the computer until now, either windows or osx.
    Over the past month I have been experiencing temporary freezes. This behavior in windows makes the computer freeze for about 2-4 minutes and then recovers. All the actions I make with the mouse during the freeze stack and resolve after the freeze. In OSX the freezes do not get in the minute range, just like 30 seconds long or so.
    The problem usually extends to data corruption and failure to boot anymore. I have reinstalled OSX and windows many times now and the problems repeat. To the extent that that even during OS installation I get corruption. Verifying the disk just after installation report unfixable directory damage.
    I am pretty convinced I have a hardware problem but I am trying to pinpoint it.
    Things I have looked into:
    Clear NVRAM & PRAM
    Performed RAM test
    Performed drive surface scans
    Check S.M.A.R.T monitoring.
    Graphics Tests
    All things have shown negative results. Anyhow, my intuition (which may be off) leads me to a Hard Disk mechanical/heat problem. When the freezes occur, I clearly hear something, recycling, spinning off and then on. It could be any fan but I think it is the hard disk. What I don't know is if the recycle is consequence or cause of the failure.
    The problem is getting worse in time. More frequent freezes and more frequent and evident data corruptions.
    The reason I want to pinpoint the problem is to ease the support process. Apple warranty does not cover my iMac but by my country laws it must if the failure is not caused by miss-use. Somehow I expect to be a heavy administrative paperwork process because I am going to have to show somehow I have not done any miss-use before hand.
    Other thing I am considering if its a hard drive problem, is opening the imac and replacing the HD myself, might be cheaper than the paperwork. Any suggestions on this??
    Thanks for reading.

    HI,
    *"Over the past month I have been experiencing temporary freezes."*
    How much free drive space is there? Control or right click the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop. Click "Get Info". Under the General tab you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there is at least 10% available disk space, 15% is better.
    Have you booted from your install disk, run Disk Utility?
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
    And you could try the Apple Hardware Test

  • Help !!! freeze and stuck on grey screen, difficult to reboot, here is my EtreCheck report

    Help !!! I experienced more and more issues since I upgraded to mavericks and i brought my MBP 15" (from 2011, out of warranty) to the Apple genius bar a couple of days after my computer started to freeze and crash on a grey screen with less and less possibility to reboot it (tried all advices i could find on the forums to reboot in other ways, etc. ). The overnight tests at Apple gave nothing, they just decided to reinitiate the software and concluded that the problem was solved.
    But the problem happened again: when i reloaded my backup from Time Machine, i could run the whole process till the end then when I was asked to restart, I couldn’t open the finder, my screen was stuck on a light grey.
    I could reboot it (always in maintaining the off button to stop the machine or in using the single mode) but it’s non stable, after too many manipulations, the screen freezes or divides in 2 parts with lines, etc. And I have to try again different ways to reboot…
    I took a new appointment to the Apple Genius bar, but in the mean time, I tried to repair the authorizations, and I have to say that the list is really long, even if I did the operation more 3 times…
    I think there is a software conflict somewhere and find the possibility to check the system with EtreCheck (thanks! I will also bring this paper to the Genius bar technician).
    Please, would there be someone who could read this information and gives me some advices and opinion on what could be problematic, what to do etc.
    In end, what is very weird to me:
    I could read on this forum that “startup items” are no more necessary since OS 10.4. I tried to delete the ones that appear here in library/startupitems, and found another one which is not mentioned in this EtreCheck list : startouc
    Also when I tried to delete those items, it was refused by the finder with the message saying that this items are in use…
    Another point: I uninstalled the application Chiavetta Internet 42 a week ago when I started to have the problems. I was in Italy and this is a usb key with pin for internet. At the moment thought about a possible conflict with the key and deleted every item concerning this installation. This is because I don’t understand that it appears now in the “User login Items”.
    Thank you so much in advance

    Hey thank you! I tried to send you a first answer but Firefox blocked... Again thank you for your advice and the detailed process to follow, hope it can help! - Also sorry for my English which is not my primary language.
    Also don't know how to edit the Anonymous UUID... is it in the apple discussion account?
    Here is what i found in Console > Diagnostic and usage information > System diagnostic report:
    there were 4 lines as titles, and after Firefox crash there are 5 now.
    I will send you the content for each of them, but in a new message each time in case it freezes again.

  • HP PRO 3400 Series desktop won't boot CPU fan starts and stops , no video, no beeps

    I have the above computer with an i3-2125 CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and a 300GB Seagate Hard drive.  I've had it for about 2 years and been working fine. It started acting up about 2 months ago.  It would lose the date and time.  I checked the battery, and it was OK, so I kept using the computer.  Then on 9/15/2014 it hung on "Starting Windows", I did the following:
    1.  Ran the built in HP diagnostic on hard drive and memory and they both passed.
    2.  Tried to go to last known good configuration and nothing happened.
    3.  Noticed the date and time were off, replaced the battery, nothing changed.
    4.  Tried another hard drive from another HP PRO 3400 Series and it would boot up but could not set date in bios.
    5.  Tried all kinds of things but could not set date in bios.
          a.  Bios date read 48/00/0048 after removing and replacing battery.
          b,  Tried to reset date to 9/16/2914 and it gets 56/00/0051
    6.  Then it wouldn't boot at all.   So now when you turn on the power, the CPU fan starts and runs for about 1 second, then shuts off for 4 seconds, then starts and runs for another 1 sec and it does this continuously.  There is  no video and no beeps and no difference when all memory is removed.
    7.  I removed the power supply, and checked voltages.  It appears to be OK.
    8.  I removed the motherboard, and inspected it- saw nothing obvious.
    9.  I connected the power supply to the motherboard with nothing else connected to the motherboard, and I get the same thing.  CPU fan starts then stops continuously, no video no beeps.
    10.  I am thinking it is the Motherboard, but I sure could use some suggestions as to what to do next.
    Thanks

  • Ipad 4 Retina display keeps freezing and reboots

    the past week my Ipad 4 has been having problems with freezing and rebooting. I deleted a game app which I thought was the problem and now when I use my email app it will start to freeze then reboot. Of course my warranty has just run out when this happened. I have tried the stadard things up to resetting but not a complete restore yet. Sometimes when rebooting it will hang and I get pixilation etc. This is very frustrating any ideas? IOS 7.04. 32GB.

    Did the standard things include Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings? You could have a corrupt setting that is causing problems. You won't lose any data, but it takes some time to enter all of the device settings again and you will have to do that if you reset all settings.
    If that doesn't work, then you probably should backup, restore to factory settings and them restore from the backup. If that fails, then the next step is to restore as new and not from the backup, them rebuild the iPad by adding your apps and content methodically looking for any signs of further problems.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Satellite L405D-11V - Freezes and screen goes black when watching video

    Ok, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I have had a fault, basically, the computer would freeze at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still going, this could be on start-up, or a few hours into using the laptop, so I decided to ring up Toshiba's tech support and they arranged for my laptop to be collected and sent off for repairs.
    I was able to track the repairs online through the tracking service, and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, it said that they ordered a part, it was in progress and the repairs were finished.
    However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, everything is fine, I start using the laptop everything is fine, then I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so, I power off holding down the power button, hoping it was just a one off, I turn it back on, and load up the video again, it freezes and the screen goes black again, after working out that when ever I watch a video or play a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze like before the repairs. So there is still a fault, but im not sure what to do
    Its still under warranty, I purchased the laptop from Comet, but I dont really want to send the laptop off for repairs again and to find it will come back with the same fault, is it worth sending it off again, perhaps seeing if comet will replace the laptop as its still under a year of buying the laptop, or is it just gonna be worth saving all the hassle and buying a new laptop? If this fault has happened to anyone else, I could sure use some help, and if someone could shed a little light as to what might be wrong?
    Thanks

    Hi buddy,
    Did you change something on configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? Did you update a driver or something else?
    What operating system you are using on your Satellite L405D?
    To be honest its really hard to say why it happens because the technicians test everything to check if your notebook runs properly.
    In my opinion you should try updating the display driver. Maybe its causing the issue
    If not I would recommend installing Windows from Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings. These settings are pretested by Toshiba and should work.
    If you still have the problem you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the repair online and according your posting everything worked well during repair so in my opinion it shouldnt be a problem to contact the guys exactly.
    Explain your problem very detailed. I think everything can be clarified then. :)

  • How can you debug sudden freezes and restarts? Only overheating?

    My iMac, under Win XP via Boot Camp, will freeze and restart unpredictably when playing games. I thought I had tracked it down to overheating, but it's not that simple. Is there any error logging at the BIOS level with Boot Camp or any record when it shuts itself off and restarts? I think it must be BIOS and/or hardware, since there are no Windows events that seem to be related. If it was a video or audio driver crash problem, wouldn't I get a BSOD and some sort of error log (since I have automatic restarting turned off in Windows)?
    Does anyone know more about when the iMac hardware will trigger a restart due to heat issues? I thought I had solved this by using smcFanControl on the Mac side to bump up the fan speeds and then tracking it with SpeedFan on the Windows side. It worked great for 2 nights. Then the 3rd night, it crashed and restarted right away twice, and then played fine for an hour or more. The 4th night, it crashed and restarted 3 times in a row, within minutes, and we gave up, somehow restraining ourselves from tossing the Mac out the window onto the sidewalk.
    According to SpeedFan, the first time it crashed, CPU temps were only at 16C, HD at 37C, and overall at 35C. The second time, CPU temps had gotten up to 25C. The last time, CPU temps again were only at 16C (i.e. it crashed so fast, we hadn't even started playing, so it was effectively idle). Other temps remained pretty constant the whole time.
    Given all that, it's hard for me to believe it's a matter of overheating. Yet I have no idea what else it could be, or why upping the cooling seemed to fix the problem for 2 days, and then the next day we were back to square one.
    I guess Boot Camp should come with a big sign, only for word processing. What a waste of time - everything else Windows I do in Fusion. The one thing I wanted to bother with Boot Camp for is almost impossible to do, play a simple, not even new or state of the art game. I'm at a total loss what's happening, now that my overheating theory seems to have blown away.

    Hi. I just wanted to tell you that I have the exact same problem, only I've got a Mac Pro. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you, but I posted details about what I've found here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7217936#7217936.

  • Why does my 3rd generation iPod touch freeze and crash randomly?

    My sister has a used 3rd Gen iPod touch. It looks fine, not much physical damage beyond normal wear. But it will continuly randomly freeze and crash. It will shut off and we have to turn it back on, only to have it crash again. The frequency of this varies and resetting it and restoring it to factory setting make no difference. Is there anything we could do to fix it?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If it still occurs that indicates a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
