G5 freezes and unfreezes

My g5 desktop will freeze, the screen will turn blue, the screen will come back and unfreezes, will work for a short time and the do it again. I've run disk utilities and found nothing on the hard drive. I started it from the install dvd and the same thing happens, I've unplugged all the external drives and cords except the keyboard and monitor, I don't think it a software problem. but I have no way of testing the hardware. all ideas are welcome. thanks

Any specific programs running when it freezes? Do the fans rev up?

  • Retrieving Freezed and Unfreezed data from a Single Report

    Dear All,
    I have a requirement where we have 2 types of users.
    1. End User and 2. Super User 3. Intermediate Users
    We have source system data which will be retieved on a daily basis.
    Here Super user freeze the data ramdomly.
    We need a report to be generated which with show
    1.Freezed data to Super user
    2. Unfreezed data to End User and
    3. Intermediate User who needs both freezed and unfreezed data.
    Can someone suggest the most optimal way to execute this requirement.
    Early response will be appreciable.
    Thanks,
    Sai Gautam

    Hi,
    you could use the scheduling function of BOE for this.
    For the Super Users: The Report will be scheduled after the data has been frezzed
    For the End Users: They can run the Report On- Demand on any Time
    For Intermediate Users: They can do both. View the Instance of the Scheduled Report and run the Report On- Demand
    This could be handled by Permissions in BOE.
    Regards

  • I just installed mac osx snow leopard in my iMac. windows freeze and unfreezes.

    Help needed again. I just installed mac os x snow leopard on my imac. sometimes when I open a window it freezes and then suddenly unfreezes until the next time. the tool bar does not identify what program is opened when frozen. It says finder instead
    Thanks for everyones help. It has made a huge difference. I hope this is the end of my issues with this new OS.

    Have you run Software Update several times to ensure you've picked up all available updates after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

  • How to freeze and unfreeze panes in window by using Excel from LabVIEW

    Hello
    I am creating an Excel Report file programmatically using LabVIEW. I make the row headers for the sheet and store data using the program.
    The requirement that i need is that when the user opens the Excel sheet, the row heading should remain fixed at top, as the sheet is scrolled down by the user.
    This is possible in Excel, by clicking on Window in the menu bar and then select Freeze panes/Unfreeze panes. The same operation i need, to be done from LabVIEW. Please let me know how this can be done.
    I use LabVIEW 2009
    Thank you.
    Solved!

    Please see this discussion. TCPlomp has an example of how to achieve this.

  • Logic Pro 9 keeps on freezing and unfreezing as it pleases!!!!

    I will be using Logic Pro 9 and more often than not, when I press 'play' to hear my project, Logic will freeze and I will have to wait until it feels like being useable again. It happens so frequently now that I cannot make music because it just takes too long to do anything.
    Does anyone know how to fix the problem.
    I am using a Macbook pro with Yosemite OS X 10.10.1

    Roll back to a previous operating system that is more compatible with Logic-9, Yosemite is not, there have been many problems reported with the L9/Yosemite combination.
    I stuck with Snow Leopard because running Logic in a professional manner is important to me. Under SL. Logic is fast and completely reliable. Sad news I know, if you have a Retina MBP you can get better performance with Graphic Switching disabled. Force the graphics to run off the hardware graphics adapter rather than switching to using software graphics.

  • Logic 8 freezes and unfreezes when moving plugins on screen?

    I have a problem with Logic.
    When I move a plugin from one place to another on the screen, it will get "stuck", and the spinning wheel will appear for 20-40 seconds. Sometimes the graphic in the plugin doesn't get updated after this problem occurs. Its enough to change to another screenset and back, and it looks ok again - but the main problem here is the freezing during the time Logic "thinks".
    Logic doesn't crash after this happens, it goes back to normal - but its very frustrating having to wait around 30 seconds just because I want to move a plugin.
    Here are a few factors to rule out:
    Activity monitor shows that mem, cpu and space is all very ok
    The problem occurs with both my internal soundcard and my MOTU PCI-424
    Latest drivers, versions of all software
    The problem is present when using only native Logic plugins, so rule out 3rd party incompability.
    Is there anyone else experiencing the same problem? Is there any log for when Logic is running that I can check? If the application would have crashed I could diagnose it, but Logic never crashes, it just freezes for a while.
    The problem does not start from the beginning of a project - but when I have loaded a couple of plugs - even without editing anything in the project - it starts freezing up.
    I am desperate for help, I invested a lot of money in my new Mac Pro solely for the reason to run Logic. I have contacted AppleCare but they haven't gotten back to me.
    Config:
    Standard configuration of the newest Mac Pro model, no non-apple memory added.
    One extra harddrive, but Logic is installed on system disk.
    Midiman Midisport 4x4 USB interface
    MOTU PCI-424 with 192IO interface
    Genelec 8240 with controller software (USB connected)
    PowerMate USB volume-control

    I just thought I'd report back and say that my machine has been at the technical support department at Jigsaw Systems (where I bought it from) for the last 8 days or so, and they can't work out what the problem is and they can't fix it.
    Even worse than that is that they tried this 'Monty' trick with the Space Designers on every other brand new MacPro that they had (which was 3 machines) and found the same problem on all of them.
    And they tried it with a variety of graphics cards including the new NVidia 8800 and it still did it, though apparantly not quite as bad with the 8800.
    Their conclusion is that this problem is specific to Logic 8 and the new MacPros and you WILL encounter this problem if you use Logic 8 on a brand new MacPro.
    The Apple / Emagic team had better find a fix for this quick.

  • Firefox has recently started freezing and unfreezing, how do I fix this?

    As noted above Firefox seems to be having trouble with freezing, I have reinstalled Firefox, Java, and Adobe Flash, all without any success. I am not having such trouble with IE running on the same computer, and going to the same sites. This has happened several times while I type this little bit of text. The text that I input finally shows up, but some mouse clicks don't get through, and I have to make them again.
    Edit: I also have cleared the cache, recent history, and deleted all cookies trying to fix this issue.
    New edit 12/22/2011: I have now uninstalled 8.0.1, and installed 9.0.1, with the same bad results. I really want Firefox working for me again.

    Thank you for your reply.
    The problem self corrected about a month after I posted that, and I forgot that I had made the post.
    It may interest you to know that I only have addons of the plugin type. There are eleven of them, and six of those have had updates with the sort of timing that leaves me not knowing if any of them had an update around the start of the problem, or around the end of it. their most recent updates were at least 1 month after the problem ended, and I have no record of any updates before that time. Two of those six are Java plugins, two are shockwave plugins, even though I don't know exactly when they were updated, I do know that they were updated at lease once during the time I had the issue, and those updates didn't fix it. Leaving only a Google update, and Pando web plugin for suspects.
    In my OP I likely should have mentioned that in the past I had had short periods with this problem as well, and it always had self corrected in just a few days. The problem wasn't as severe in the earlier cases ether. Next time it happens I will try your method and see if I can end the problem on the spot. The down side to that is that if it's not the Google or Pando plugins, it would have to be one of the ones that most everyone depends on for much of their enjoyment on the web.
    Is there anything else you can think of that could be suspect? BTW, I maybe should mention that I don't allow any extra tool bars to install on my browser, It's part of how I like my web experience.

  • Playback pauses and ipod freezes then unfreezes after 20 seconds

    Description of the issue:
    When playing continuously song after song, the ipod freezes and music stops about 5 seconds in to most songs.  After about 20 seconds, playback resumes and the ipod is responsive again.
    Symptoms:
    Only happens after one song ends and the next one begins.
    Doesn't happen every time
    iPod freezes and won't accept commands from the click wheel.
    Troubleshooting: Reset has not resolved the issue.
    Background:  Worked fine before last night, when I added some more files to my itunes library by convering them from wma to AAC.  I received the message during synch that itunes couldn't copy all the files from itunes, since there's not enough room on the ipod. 
    Once I get home today, I'll try reformatting, etc.

    Try a restore.
    See: How to restore the iPod to factory settings.
    What account are referring to? iTunes music store?

  • Macbook pro Display freezes and darkens every few seconds

    After the PRAM reset did you reboot the MBP and the projector?
    If not, connect and power up the projector, the power up MBP.
    The monitor itself could be on the way out, is there another monitor you can check it on.
    Another thing you can try is a VGA cable with the DVI adapter and see if that performs better.
    You can also try a different cable, since it worked fine in the past, I'm just trying to help you.

  • My iPod Touch is freezing and rebooting itself.

    Hi.
    Here's the story:
    My iPod was recently working yesterday. I left it on the wall charger for a while, and later I come back to find my iPod frozen, out of nowhere. For another while, it freezes and starts to reboot itself. I done all I can. I watched videos on how to unfreeze it and etc, and I tried restoring it, and doing about everything I can to recover this iPod, it doesn't work. So I turned it off, and let it settle overnight. This morning, I turn it on, and it restored, everything was working fine, until when I go to my Messages app, it freezes once again, and now it is doing the same thing, but this time it repeats to the home screen, freezes, and reboots again. I tried calling for support and they said my warranty is expired.
    I own an iPod Touch 4G, 8GB, for about 6 months.
    To be specific: It always goes to the Apple logo and then the loading circle then shuts off, then does it again. Before this problem about a day before this happened, I accidentally put a little water on it and wiped it off while I was working on chores. (Sorry, I often have it next to me a lot.) Plus, I did have a lot of data on it but it didn't seem much of a problem. 
    Please, if anyone can help, tell me what is the reason behind this problem, and at least if you can try to solve this for me. I will try going to a local Apple store later on if this problem keeps going. But for right now, I need this help. Thank you all.
    Bye.

    - Have yu tried letting the battery fully draining and then charging and trying to retore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod?
    - Try placing it is recovery mode and then DFU mode and then restoring if necessary.

  • Gateway DX4840 is Experiencing Screen Freezing and Crashing

    I am running Windows 7. This problem started about three weeks ago. Occasionally the screen freezes and nothing will unfreeze it except a cold boot. Control-Alt-Delete does nothing.   Sometimes the screen goes black. At other times the screen shows
    an odd multicolour pattern.  Occasionally the computer crashes altogether.
    I can not seem to find any hardware problem. Sometimes the computer will run for several days with no difficulty. There is no sign of a virus. I have checked my C drive for problems and found nothing.
    I normally run Chrome and sometimes Chrome and Explorer at the same time.  Has anybody experienced this problem.
    Thanks very much.

    Hi,
    Firstly, please check the issue with the method below:
    Windows hangs or freezes
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681286
    Meanwhile, I think you need also to check the hardware side; please ensure all the drivers are up-to-date and you can also contact Gateway support for help.

  • Keypad freezing and unlock screen freezing also complete freezing in texts and Internet and then kicking me back to main screen

    The keypad an unlock screen will freeze completely and I have to turn off my phone to unfreeze also when in a text or on the Internet it will freeze and kick me out of what I am in and go to the main screen. This happens multiple times a day an the phone is brand new. It's completely updated and I exit out of running apps all the time and hook I up to iTunes

    Try to reset the device by pressing the Sleep/Wake button and Home Button at the same time for ten seconds until the Apple Logo appears. Note: No data will be lost

  • How can I make my ipod stop freezing and refusing to boot up?

    My ipod will randomly, about 25-50 times a day, refuse to start up and I have to reset it (Hold sleep/power till...etc)
    Is there any way to make this stop?
    I have kinda gotten used to it, but it is still really annoying. It will also not exit apps and not recognize any buttons. After a while of this, it freezes, and may or may not unfreeze.

    - 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 still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod freezing and not all songs play

    My ipod freezes and cannot unfreeze until battery goes low. How do I get this problem fixed? Also, after I download a song and transfer it to my ipod, the ipod doesn't always play the song. It may play a few seconds, but that's it. I try to redownload the song and the ipod still won't play it. Need help with this thing!!

    I would highly suggest "Restoring" your IPOD using the IPODs Updater software. Read here:
