G4 power mac SDRAMM DIMM slots

I re-seated the three boards, but one of them doesn't go down as far as the other two. I don't know if that's right or if there's something wrong with how I'm putting it back in. I don't want to force it and possibly break the board.

If you inadvertently flipped it end-for-end, it will certainly not go back in happily.
Sometimes if you get the DIMM just a tiny bit too far toward one end of the slot, those little keys in the slots keep the notches from seating properly. I have developed a habit of sliding the DIMM back-and-forth lengthwise to establish where the keys and slots are going to line up, then applying the pressure to press them home.
I find a bright light can be very helpful in figuring out what's what. It is much darker in there than it first seems!

On the OWC card, theres a big white block that appears to be a PATA Power Port. (The kind you plug into a PATA Hard Disk Drive)
I really don't think it needs ny power other than what it gets from the PCI bus.
Yeah I hope it doesnt either. You own one?
the LaCie card doesn't seem to have it...must be why its 3 times the price LOL.
My bad, it does, its just a 3.5" Floppy drive power port (I REALLY dont have one of THESE! Lol)
LOL, perhaps it's so they can replace all these under warranty!...

Power Mac G5-Bad dimms/bad logic board?

I recently have tried to install 1 gig of RAM into my power mac G5. It only has 2 dimm slots available, the other two hold the 256 mg of RAM that came with the computer. When I install the new RAM (purchased through apple) the computer gives me a grey screen with a whole lot of writting that I can not get past.
I ran a hardware test with just the original RAM in and everything passed.
I tried to run a hardware test with the new/original RAM and was not able to.
When I take out the new RAM, the computer runs fine.
I then switched the new RAM with the original, leaving 2 slots empty and the computer started up fine. I tried placeing the original RAM in the 2 slots, filling all 4, and this time a black screen came up repeatedly.
Should I just max out the only 2 DIMM slots that work? Is it the 2 DIMM slots that are failing? I am sure it is not the RAM after many conversations with apple, but am worried it is my logic board..and I just stepped out of my one year warenty..(siiiiiiigh)
Any advice would be great.

What are the specs of the new ram vs. the old ram? It sounds like you may have mis-matched ram modules that won't co-exist with each other. Where did you get the new ram?

Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 PCI (4 RAM Slots) - want to upgrade to 8GB?

My computer is a Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 PCI (4 RAM Slots)
Is there any way I can break out of the 4GB RAM limit into the world of 8GB RAM without having to buy a newer computer. I need to open a large 4.5GB TGA file in After Effects (48000 pixels x 36000 pixels).
Failing that, is there an application like RAM doubler I could use temporarily to get me though this job?
Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8 PCI (4 RAM Slots) Mac OS X (10.4.10) Currently have 4GB RAM installed

If there is not enough RAM, OSX will use space on the disk drive, so the amount of RAM should not limit the file size an application can handle, but speed will be reduced. 32-bit addressing can restrict the use of huge files, but there are ways that applications can get around it (at the expense of lower speed).
If After Effects has a file size limit, extra RAM will not help A later version (maybe using 64-bit mode) may handle larger files. 64-bit applications can be written to run in Tiger on G5s, but will be easier to write when Leopard is released.
You may be able to use some other application, such as Photo Shop, or Graphics Converter, to extract part of the TGA file, or reduce its size by changing its resolution, so you can use the result in After Effects.

My power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and now it has the symble of the firewire slot floting around the screen and i can not get it to start back up

my power mac g4 was working fine i hit a key and it shut down and know it has a symble floting around the screen like the firewirs symble and ot wont turn back on how do i fix it

It does sound like the T key is stuck.
One way to test to see if the keyboard is at fault is to disconnect the keyboard, then start up the Mac.
Note - on that model, you can force a shutdown by holding in the power button (the one on the front panel of the machine) for 8 to 10 seconds.
You can also force a restart by pressing the small convex (bulges out slightly) button under the power button on the front panel (it's the one on the left).

Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 freezes up, Power Mac G5 Dual 2.5 freezes up

Hello
I inherited a Dual 2.5 PPC Power Mac G5 from my sister. She was having problems with it suddenly freezing up. She replaced the hard drive but that didn't fix it, and sicne she had a newer Macbook Pro she gave up on it. When I got it I replaced the video card on it with an ATI Radeon, and it seemed to run fine for a while, and then the problem returned. It seemed to have returned after I did all the Apple software upgrades on it (It's running Leopard), but that might be a coincidence. I noticed under Diagnostics on the power up test that some RAM had failed. I also noticed that it was running on 1 gb of RAM even though 2 gb were installed. I removed the faulty Ram (4 256 mb dimms) and hoped that that was the problem. Unfortunately it wasn't. I also installed a temperture reading program. It showed that CPU A is running around 80 C at times and is usually about 10C hotter than CPU B. I'm not sure though if 80C is normal for a G5 or not. I noticed that when it was unplugged that it wouldn't retain the time and date, and took a look at the battery, and sure enough it was starting to leak (but hadn't leaked on to any components). I've ordered a new bttery for it.
I ran a check with Disk Utility and found the HD was ok, but permissions were a bit messed up. Disk Utility wasn't able to fix some of the permissions, but i don't think this is the underlying problem.
I've also opened it and gave everything a thourough vacuuming and cleaning and reseated any removable parts. I took the cover off the liquid cooling unit and vacuumed out the dust. There didn;t seem to be any coolant leaks I could see.
Any suggestions on where I should go from here? I unfortuantely don't have any of the disks for it, so I can't run the AHT until I find one for it (the one for my Macbook Pro wouldn't work).
Sometimes it just freezes. Other times it freezes and the computer fans go on high. It will finally get to a point where it shows the grey multi-language restart screen (where it says to hold down the button to shut it off and the restart).
It was frustrating because on my workbench it was running fine after I switched the video card, and it didn't freeze at all. When I moved it to our computer desk though, the problems returned. Tonight it was to the point where it didn't last 5 minutes.
My thoughts are:
1. Maybe All the RAM is bad
2. Maybe the dead battery is messing it up?
3. When it is heating up with use, something is expanding and not connecting any longer.
What are your thoughts?

Hi Curtis,
I'm not sure though if 80C is normal for a G5 or not. I noticed that when it was unplugged that it wouldn't retain the time
Nope, not normal, way too hot, above 70°C... If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
Have you blown the dust out of everything with high pressure air?\
1. Maybe All the RAM is bad
The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

I want to run hardware test on my Power Mac G5 but it isn't working.

What I tried:
I have the original install disc 1 which came with the machine in the optical drive (which is the usual one). I printed the hardware test guide which is on the disc, disconnected everything but mouse, keyboard and monitor. I tried to boot, pressing the Alt/Option key, but the "system picker" or boot menu won't show up. What happens is what somebody described as for "old world" macs: my system boots with no finder window open and without the white screen and apple logo (which usually shows up during startup).
I also tried something I found in a user manual pdf for Power Mac G5 on the apple archives: Booting and press-holding C (btw it's strange that this manual says something different than the manual on the original disc). What happens here is that my machine is booting from the original disc but it boots in Installation mode. I looked at every drop-down-menu I could find there for several times but there is definitely no hardware test, since this is thought to install Mac OS 10.4.
I also tried the Intel-way and holding D during boot, but no surprise, it only booted the first drive (like it should on a pre-Intel).
But something about this all is very strange. Yesterday night I tried all these steps above and when I was close to fall asleep in front of my monitor it suddenly worked and I made it finally into the hardware test. If I remember correctly, I was holding down the C key, but as I said a was pretty dizzy and can be mistaken. I ran hardware test once enhanced and it stopped during ram, giving me an error code I wrote down. But since I made it into the test and was so tired, I thought "lets continue tomorrow" which was my epic fail for this year, I guess. Today I repeated every step, every way I tried but it just doesn't work; and I read sooo many forums and Q&A's.
By the way here is my error code which appeared after 49 minutes (to proof I didn't dream this):
"2MEM/1/4: DIMM3/J14"
Why do I want to do this?
Around the 1st of September this year my Power Mac G5 didn't boot anymore (the fan speeding issue). After reading a little online I came to the point that its either my Ram memory or its my graphics card or its Pram or NVram. I resetted Pram and NVram, I also replaced battery and then it booted again for one day but on the following day it didn't. I repeated every step but the battery replacement since it was a brand new one. It can only be Ram memory or my Graphics card (which is the standard one for this machine).
Since then my Power Mac was rarely in use, only two or three times in Firewire Target Mode to access some of the data. Yesterday I wanted to do this again; booting it in FT mode but I must have connected my keyboard too late during booting and my machine surprisingly booted just fine! I was so stoked about this! Then I wanted to find out why it didn't work for a while and started several steps. Ran maintanance scripts, repaired the system volume, checked for enough free space, checked my Ram and then I stumbled on the interwebs over the hardware test which is delivered on the original install disc 1 and I never heard about this before (strange enough). What followed is written above.
What do I have?

Sorry for the German but I think you still get it. The PPC was delivered with 10.4 and I bought it used from a friend with his original Update disc to 10.5 and I updated to the max, 10.5.8. I have 2x 1TB drive (similar ones) together as a Raid0 and three partitions on it. (I know now that it doesnt make that much of a sense).
Yeah so I really want to find out why my machine didn't work for three months but since it is so old and I'm a student, it doesn't make any sense to me to go to an Apple store or similar to have it expensively serviced since there is no guarantee that these guys really help you (heard some stories about the local stores here).
Is there a way to re-access the hardware test and run it to the end?
As you might have noticed, I'm pretty desperate. I would soooooooo appreciate it!!
Best,
Erik

"2MEM/1/4: DIMM3/J14"
Replace the memory in the DIMM 3 slot.
If you are running Mac OS X 10.5 you can use this program to test your G5's memory:

It will subject your RAM to a more thorough test than Apple Hardware Test.

Upgrading 1.8 MHz Power Mac G5 (memory and OS)

I recently purchased an iMac loaded with Leopard. I would like to use the install disk to upgrade my older Power Mac G5. My machine is running 10.3.9 currently.
I know I need to increase memory, but by how much? A salesman sold me additional memory some time ago, but it caused a lot of problems and I removed it. Now I'm leery of what to buy. Will the following memory description be appropriate, both in type and quantity to run Leopard?
1GB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Module For PowerMac G5 Models(requires pairs!), iMac G5, Mac mini 1.25GHz/1.42GHz Models. TRUE PC3200 CAS 3.0(or Faster) Non-Stacked 64x8 device Low-Noise PCB Solution! New, Lifetime Advance Replacement Warranty. (OWC3200DDR1024)
My Power Mac's memory currently consists of 2-128MB DDR SDRAM PC3200U-30330.
I'm application-oriented and not too technically savvy.

The G5s came stock with 256MB 6 yrs ago but even then it was sub-standard amount and 1.2 - 1.5GB RAM was much better for even basic light use.
2GB should be a good improvement, you have 4 DIMM slots likely. But it depends on what you plan to do or use it for. Buy from vendors that sell and cater to Mac hardware.
OEM DVDs like from an iMac can't be used, they don't load sometimes, and you really do need retail discs. Good luck finding 10.5.x DVD retail.
New drives can also do a lot to improve performance.
Realize though, other than running older PowerPC applications, the iMac should be able to do most things very well.

Upgrading Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0 Ram/Video Card/Hard Drives

Hi there,
Ok so I am an avid Mac user, but have neglected one of my machines lately. This old Power Mac G5 just pushed the 3 year mark and I had a bunch of repairs done to it (New Logic Board, Hard Drive, Power Supply) before the Apple Care ran out. I used to do all of my editing and stuff on it but haven't had time this past year so it has just sat here and not gotten any use. I felt as if it was time to get back in the game so I picked up another Apple 20" monitor, some M-Audio studio monitors, a 11" Wacom, but feel the machine is too outdated to do anything.
Ok first off, I am looking to upgrade from the four 256 sticks (1GB) that I have in my computer with some 2 2GB kits (1GB x 2) (4GB total) and have been looking at the ram that Crucial suggests for this machine (8 Slots). Is there anything that I should look for in ram that will help me get through all of my 3D motion design faster (HD Final Cut too). I don't know a lot about ram when it comes to buffers and such, just how to buy compatible ram. Any suggestions?
Second I am looking to upgrade my video card. I currently have the GeForce FX 5200 with 64 MB of VRAM, which is completely unacceptable. I am looking for a card that can handle all of my motion work along with rendering in Final Cut, something with 256MB of VRAM or more.. I want something that has 2 DVI connections so I don't need an adapter like I currently do with this card to hook up both Apple displays. Suggestions?
Lastly I am looking to up my storage space on this beast. I currently have a brand new 160GB main HDD (Courtesy Apple Care) and a 250GB Maxtor internally. I would really like to have at least a TB of storage. My question is wether I should just keep the 160 for the main boot up drive and apps along with minimum documents to keep the speeds faster, and get a 500 internal and 500 exclosure, or get two 500's for internal?

Hi-
With RAM, fancy isn't necessary, compatible is. Buffers aren't supported, so stick with the recommended memory. Memory should be 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMMs that are 2.5 volt, unbuffered, 8-byte, nonparity, and DDR400-compliant (PC3200).
Important: DIMMs with any of the following features are not supported in the Power Mac G5 computer: registers or buffers, PLLs, ECC, parity, or EDO RAM.
For two DVI outputs, and the power to run your software, the only choices are the Geforce 6800GT and the Geforce 6800 Ultra. For a bit less money, but requires an ADC to DVI adapter for second DVI, the Radeon X800XT will help with the softwares needs. These benchmarks will help you see the performance of the cards.
For storage, the 160gb will work for OS and applications, but you might as well add two 500gb-750gb drives. The new, enterprise drives have great performance, and though larger, will most probably work faster as a startup drive than the 160gb drive. These benchmarks are from a Mac Pro test, but the results illustrate the speed of the larger drives.
The Western Digital SE16 series, or the Seagate ES series offer excellent performance and reliability. See Storage Reviews. For a 1tb drive, see this article.
Of course, whatever you install, add enough external for full backup capabilities.

Achieving data rates of 54 Mbps requires that all users have an AirPort Extreme Card and connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station. If any user of Wi-Fi certified 802.11b products joins the network, that user will get up to 11 Mbps and AirPort Extreme network users will get less than 54 Mbps. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network, and other factors.
Check with manufacturer for compatibility.

Power Mac Lion Won't Boot! Fixes

Ok, I have the following: 2 x 2.66 Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon Power Mac that had 10.6.8, 4 GB MHz DDR@ FB-Dimm Ram over 4 slots. I had the original hard drive (Western Digital Caviar SE 250gb Ram HD model #WD2500AAJS-41RYA0) drive in this morning, and cloned it to a Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 TB 7200rpm 32 Cache Hard Drive. When I formated the new drive, I did it journaled. I took out the Western Digital and made the Seagate Barracuda the boot drive. I also installed a second drive, a Seagare Barracuda SATA 2 TB 7200rpm in bay 2. That drive is not journaled since I am storing video on it. Both of the new drives were formated properly and without issue. They worked all day without issue. This evening, I downloaded Lion without issue. It installed and rebooted. Everytime the computer boots, it goes to the "you need to reboot screen" aka "Mac Kernel Panic Screen" with four languages. Here is a link to the image: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742. Any ideas of what is happening or what I did wrong? Any thoughts on what happened? Any fixes? Help please. Do you need any other information?

OK. ALSO, I installed the OLD hard drive on its own and it boots fine. It seems like it can't find the new drive. Thoughts?

Power Mac G4 MDD OS X installation freezes

Hi, a friend of mine gave me a Power Mac G4 for free and I'm having issues getting an OS on it. It seems to be freezing any time there's lots of Hard Disk activity (typically near the extracting step in the OS X installer). I've tried different combinations of RAM/modules and I've got it set up using DIMMs that passed Memtest and the Apple hardware test CD. Tried the OEM 40GB IBM Drive and a Maxtor 120GB drive. Tried installing both 10.4 and 10.5 minimally (1.9GB for Tiger and 6GB for Leopard). Tried resetting the PRAM, VRAM and PMU. I was able to get Tiger installed once but got greedy and tried wiping/installing Leopard. Haven't been able to get anything on it since. Any ideas before I chuck this out the window? Oh and I tried restoring the installer DMGs to a separate partition and installing from that. DMG copies fine, restoration fails. Oh, and writing zeros to the disk craps out near the end of both hard drives. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Thanks for the reply BDAqua. Successfully wrote zeros to half the drive (20gigs) and tried installing Leopard. It got stuck at the extraction stage again. Trying to install Tiger right now. In the mean time..
1) Assuming 10.4 installs, do you think it's safe to use the system like this? I actually just split the original partition in 2 so I've got the second drive still as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Would setting it as free space prevent the system from ever looking at that part of the drive?
2) I was getting the error "Invalid memory access at %SRR0: 00034870.." with certain memory configurations when I was trying to boot into the AHT cd (meaning I wasn't able to boot into the CD, I didn't run tests on it). However, when I had Tiger working, the machine worked fully populated with RAM and System Profiler recognized all of it. Do you think I should only use RAM that I was able to boot into the AHT CD with or should I go ahead and fill up slots? (ie. could it just be a bug in the AHT CD?)
Thanks again!

Power Mac G5 (late 2005) memory showing two different speeds

Alright, here's the situation. I have a late 2005, Dual 2,0Ghz, water cooled, model, G5 Power Mac tower. These have 8 memory slots, (1 upper bank of 4 slots and one lower bank of 4 slots located directly above and below each other on the motherboard). The two inside slots (the two slots that are closest together - one from each bank) are labeled slot 1. Then the next two slots (moving outward from the middle) are slots 2, then slots 3, then slots 4. Anyway,according to the Apple specs, the memory should be set up in matching pairs of like modules: i.e. slots one = 2 X 1GB sticks of matching PC4200, slots 2 = 2 matching sticks of PC4200, etc., etc, up to a total of 8 GBs of compatible memory.
I have 8 X 1GB sticks of "matching" Kingston PC4200 memory installed, and it even shows up on the "About This Mac" page as 8 GB. However, if you take this one step further and proceed to the "More Info" page, under the "Hardware" tab, the "memory" info it shows up as 4 sticks of DDR2-PC4200, and 4 sticks of DDR2-PC3200. Ironically, slots 0,1,2,3 indicate as PC-4200 (533Mhz), and slots 4,5,6, & 7 indicate as PC-3200 (400Mhz). Can anyone give me some insight as to why this would be happening? I've also re-arrainged the memory modules, but the memory speed discrepancy stays the same.
Any help would be appreciated!

It's likely no problem if everything is running fine, some SPIDIF chip anomoly I think.

Running your memory the right way/ running 4 DIMM slots on P55 boards

Dear Forumers,
Lately there are a lot of questions, about motherboards from the P55 range not starting on first boot.
This could be due to wrongly arranged memory DIMM's in your slots.
Some people out there, like me, were convinced that you could choose either dualchannel.
Well, its not the case.
Like I was pointed out earlier, you must use a certain slot, otherwise the memory will not be detected properly.
According to Intel specs, DIMM0, must always be populated.
This means that to run dualchannel with only 2 DIMM's, that you must check your manual and look carefully which slot is for DIMM0.
According to the manual, it will be slot DIMM1 on your board, but watch out, this is not the slot closest to cpu, on current MSI P55 boards, (CD-53, GD-41, GD-45, GD-55, GD-65, GD-80 and the Big Bang Trinergy), its the second slot from cpu.
Picture of P55 mainboard:
From a manual from a MSI P55 board:
So for dualchannel with 2 sticks, you must populate the black slots, DIMM1 and DIMM3 and for single channel with one stick DIMM1 most be used.
Please bear in mind that DIMM0 in Intel spec.sheets means DIMM1 on your board.
The link to technical sheet from intel about : i7 8xx cpu's

A short quote with the relevant data:
Quote
Rules for Populating Memory Slots
In all modes, the frequency of system memory is the lowest frequency of all memory
modules placed in the system, as determined through the SPD registers on the
memory modules. The system memory controller supports one or two DIMM
connectors per channel for unbuffered DIMMs. For dual-channel modes, both channels
must have at least one DIMM connector populated and for single-channel mode only a
single-channel may have one or more DIMM connectors populated.
Note: DIMM0 must always be populated within any memory configuration. DIMM0 is the
furthest DIMM within a channel and is identified by the CS#[1:0], ODT[1:0], and
CKE[1:0] signals.
For more info, please read datasheet
Also, let me remind you that this goes for ALL P55 boards out there, its not just an MSI thing.
This has to do with the fact that the memorycontroller now sits on die on the Lynnfield cpu's.
Im hoping to end the debate, like I had (and I was wrong), about the fact that you should be able to use any channel, like you could on the S775 boards, you just cant anymore.
Update 26 december 2009:
Running all 4 DIMM slots with memorysticks
It seems that a lot of people are having problems running with all memoryslots occupied, e.g. not booting, BSOD and other crazy stuff.
If you have such problems try the following first, before running back to the store to swap stuff out.
- Raise Vdimm to 1.65V, its still a save voltage for the board and this way the memory gets a little more power and in 99% of the cases, this will solve the issue.
- Try booting/installing with one stick first in DIMM1 on the board (see above).
- If it boots/installs, let it go all the way till windows is done.
- Turn off pc and add a second DIMM in DIMM slot 3, restart and let i boot all the way again in windows till its done.
- Do the same again for DIMM2 and last DIMM4.
We know its a bit of a hassle, but it worked for a lot of people, so be sure to try this before anything else.
And again, its not just an MSI thing, there are more manufacturers out there with the same issues, this also has to do with the fact the memorycontroller now sits on die with cpu.
I'll edit if new boards come out.

Upgrading Mother Board (P55-GD65 with i3 processor) BIOS [/b] from 1.3 to 1.6 corrected my Computer re-starting soon after the Boot sequence began. Putting the four 2GB RAM in one at a time in the suggested order in sequence with the socket numbers fixed the problem earlier, but only for the next, one boot. The problem then returned as long as all 4 DRAM were installed. Raising the DRAM voltage did not improve things.
I used the Forum's program for flashing the new version of Bios using USB Flash Memory for boot into DOS.
Thank you, DaLoona, for your post notifying me this had to do with the motherboard and was probably not a failure, but a "normal" occurance in certain conditions. I was no longer inclined to return the board and perhaps end up with the same error in the replacement, and no longer worried about the rebooting doing damage.
In Bios Setup I had already reduced an entry to do with number of overclocking tries from 3 to 1 (the minimum choice) which reduced the number of re-boots to 1.
