My iMac G5 powers on and runs fine for 20 to 60 minutes then locks up and all fans run at 100%

I thought my Hard drive had finally crashed and while replacing it (1TB Hitachi) I also replace the 512MB of RAM with 2 x 1Gb sticks of Crucial Memory. While re-loading 10.4 the system locked up again and the fans started running at 100%. I tried 3 more times and the same thing. With in 20 to 30 minutes the system locks up and the fans roar. I was told buy a friend the PSU had bad caps (all the MB caps look perfect) and I should replace it. I purchased a used PSU from Ebay and this time I got the entire OS installed and 8 of the first 9 undates and then, it did it again. I powered the iMac off and rebooted and now I get no bottom tool bar and in 50 to 60 minutes the same thing. Please help, I am certified on Dell and HP but this iMac is driving me nuts.

Take a closer look at the logic board caps. They dont have be totally blown open to be bad.
If you look closely and see that they are bulging just a small bit they are BAD.
These symptoms sound like bad logic board caps.

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins. They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

Launch the Terminal app in /Utilities/, run these two commands (copy & paste each one separately and hit the return key):
sudo chflags 0 /volumes/*
sudo chmod a+rx /volumes/*
at the Password: prompt, type in your admin password, carefully since nothing displays on the screen, and hit the return key. These should unlock your drives. You might have to restart.

I downloaded the latest operating system for my iPhone 5. It worked fine for about two minutes then the phone requested a password number to continue. Each time I inserted numbers, which were incorrect, the phone would lock up for a certain period of time. Now, it says “iPhone is Disabled”. It said to “Connect to iTunes” which I did, but iTunes does not recognize my phone. If I scroll the face to the right, it goes to the phone number face and says, "No Service". Can I do something to make the phone work?

Hi. I am running Windows 8.1 on a 64 bit Toshiba Satellite P70-A laptop with 16Gb of RAM. I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 - Master Collection. All is fine except for Adobe Acrobat X. It runs OK for a while, but then suddenly it won't work. I uninstall it, re-boot and re-install again, bit the same process repeats itself and once again I have to uninstall and re-install again. I don't know if windows update interferes with it? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it fixable?

I think you'd be much better off asking in the Acrobar forum, Acrobat

I cant re-start sql server (2008 developer) on win 7 workstation after enabling tcpIP -- been running fine for a year

I had successfully installed sql server 2008 Developer edition on a win7 pro workstation about a year ago. I has been running fine for the last year (locally and running .Net 4.5 framework). All services (RS, Analysis) running fine.
Then today someone decided to enable tcpIP and went to services to restart the server on my workstation but it would not restart. I ran repair from the sql server installation center x64 - still nothing - the server wont restart. But Analysis server and Reporting
services work fine -- these services can restart fine ... Just not the main server. I'm also running Sql Server express. that runs OK too. But I need my sql server 2008 Developer to run. I looked at the system event viewer -- it said this:
The SQL Server (SQLDEVELOPER) service terminated with service-specific error The specified module could not be found..
I went to Control panel ... services and looked at the properties for Sql Server Developer -- the path was listed as:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLDEVELOPER\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe" -sSQLDEVELOPER
Everything in windows explorer appears to be in order. How can I restart the server? Do I need to uninstall it and then reinstall it? Any suggestions appreciated.
I rebooted the entire workstation a few times already also, but still server won't restart. What to do?

Running fine for months, then last night no connec...

My connection has been running fine for around 6 months now, nothing changed.
At around 12am last night my connection suddenly dropped.
The lights on the modem where on, but the light on the hub went orange.
I turned off the hub and waited for it to connect, still nothing, orange then red light eventually.
I turned both the modem and hub off, waited for them to come on again, but still orange/red light on the hub and greens every where else.
I turned them off again and back on, this time the hub connected to the modem and I had all green lights, success I thought, wrong.
Still no Internet connection. I ended up turning the equipment off overnight.
Someone told me there where some planned engineering works on the network which are the cause of the outage.
Any confirmation? I'm on the Golders Green exchange / London.

I created a 5x7 postcard document in Word with text boxes and graphics. When I converted it to PDF, some of the items were missing, even though they were in the boundaries of the page and looked fine on the Word document. What happened, and how do I fix it? I'm trying to upload the PDF version to Vistaprint. Thanks.

Reader doesn’t create pdf files. You can use Acrobat (ask in that forum) to create pdfs. You can subscribe to the Adobe PDF Pack which has a create pdf functionality (please ask in that forum), or you can use a third party utility such as ghostscript, cutepdf, or Microsoft’s own PDF creation capability. For third party pdf creation you will need to ask in a forum dedicated to that software as fellow users of Reader are unlikely to have the knowledge to help.

Hi - I'm on a Mac - OSX 10.4.11 Trying to get DNG 6.7 installed. Says 'sucsessfull' but big line throght icon and app won't open. Previous DNG was 5.6 and was fine. Dragged it to trash to delete. and deleted trash. Then realised poss mistake and installed AppDelete and reinstaled 5.6 and draged to AppDelete - along with 6.7 then tried again to instal 6.7 but still no good. Any ideas what I can do? or where things have gone wrong and how can I fix? Thank you .

If this is a compatibility issue because you are using an older operating system then there isn't much you can do aside from updating your OS. Do you need DNG converter 6.7? You said that DNG converter 5.6 was working fine. You could reinstall it if it supports your camera.

I have an Iphone 4 13.5 GB, iOS 7.1.2. Currently when I make a call or someone calls me, I can hear people on call perfectly but sometimes they can't hear me. It maybe fine for afew mins but then sound drops again? Anyone have this problem and find a solution? Thanks.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
