My power mac G5 won't boot up but has red flashing light and intense fan noise.

I Have a Power Mac G5 that flashes a red light that I've never seen before. There is nothing on the monitor and the fan noise is incredible.
HAs anyone ever had this problem?

Hi Michael,
It's normal for the fans to go full speed if the OS won't load to handle them.
Where is this red light, on the logic board, or front panel?
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

  • Power Mac G5 won't boot with Lion?

    After installing Lion, my early Intel 2010 Power Mac G5 won't boot. There were no problems for the first 2 days. The third day my G5 wouldn't boot at all. Not using Lion's recovery function, many attempts to boot from a previous system disk, and firewire target mode. The keyboard seems to be dead after attempting to boot except for the DVD eject key. All I get is a grey screen with an icon of a folder with a question mark within the folder. This icon blinks on and off continuously. Since the keyboard isn't working, I can't reset the PRAM, start in safe mode, or any other keyboard commands. The failed boot doesn't even get far enough for the Apple window to open. I replaced the hard drive and accomplished nothing except for spending even more money and time.
    This is VERY frustrating! Has anyone else had a similar problem with booting after Lion't installation??
    Thanks.

    1) you have a Mac pro Early 2009, remember this. It avoids confusion here in forum
    2) you're HDD's OS cannot be found by the firmware of the Mac hence it results to a question mark
    perform the following(recommended to use a USB keyboard)
    a) startup manager
    press and hold option on startup. Do u see your HDD?
    b) if you have a back up of your data then you can boot to the install disk and perform an erase and install
    repairing the permission will not work since the disc's OS is different from the HDD's OS.

  • Power Mac G4 won't boot in OS X

    I have a number of G4's which have been upgraded to Tiger. I am on the last machine running 9.2.2 and it refuses to boot in 10.4. I have tried the Tiger installation CDs, from a firewire drive with a good copy of Tiger on and from a new internal disk with a clean copy of tiger on (Installed via another Mac). All I get is the G4 sitting there with a blank screen with the fan running - no start up question marks or anything.
    Does anyone have any idea why this mac won't recognize OS X at all?
    TIA
    PS Firmware update claims that it is not needed.

    First let me ask you this, when you install for the first did your machine boot from the 10.4 or not.
    And if you did, sounds like everything is ok if you have what you said you have
    G4 350mhz, 512mb RAM, 40 gb drive with OS 9 ,80 gb drive with 10.4
    (1) Have you check the Battery Type 3.6V Lithium maybe is out.
    (2) did you removed the processor if is 350mhz or did you remove the video card.
    Here's a link that might help you out that's if you haven't done it already.

  • Power mac g5--won't boot, and I can't sleep

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping someone is awake and can help. My power mac g5, circa 2005, has always come with some problems, specifically, kernal panics. It's not bad RAM, but I have never tested the video card. Oddly enough, it seems to go down most often in the most in simple internet applications.
    Today, it froze in Firefox and I cannot get it to reboot. It stalls/freezes in the gray apple screen. Called my IT friend, and he said to zap the PRAM. That brought it back up for a second, and then it froze again. I replaced the battery, no results.
    I can't get it to boot in safe mode or even single-user- it freezes up as well. I certainly can't get it up long enough to load the boot disk.
    It may be garbage...I can accept that...but it is holding hours of work. Will I be able to retrieve this??

    Hi, I'm having same problem. G5 1.8 dual processor purchased March '05, won't boot. Not from cd either.
    Took it to the apple geniuses and first was told it might be a bad board or processor and that I might as well just buy a new system. Well, I can't, because I still need to run some classic applications for business reasons, and because of that I'm stuck at Mac OS X 10.3.9. Anyway... I left my system with the apple geniuses and got a call 3 days later saying it was fixed @ no charge and that the 3rd party USB card was bad. They pulled it and said all was well.Great!, saving me $800 charge for a new board and over $430 for a new processor. So on the way home I buy a new USB hub get home start up and nothing! No change. Back to the Apple Store and after some testing this time I'm told it's definitely a bad hard drive. So, on the way home I buy a new hard drive. Get back, install the new HD and, you guessed it, can't format the disk, system won't boot from CD. BACK TO THE APPLE GENIUSES AGAIN! Now they tell me it's definitely the logic board. After 5 days I'm back where I started... except I have an old USB card that is most likely fine and new USB hub and a new HD I purchased because the Apple Geniuses told me they were bad! I asked them if they would apply a credit of some sort for the unnecessary purchases and my time (The closest Apple Store is 30 miles away), They politely said we appologize for the inconvenience, but no, we can't do that. I've been using Macs of all kinds since the early 1980's. And have never had one fail! Since I started looking into G5 problems, I've found many others with this startup issue. I feel there is a known issue with this series that apple is intentionally sweeping under the rug instead of issuing a recall or credit.

  • Power Mac G4 Won't Boot

    I have recently received an old Power Mac G4 MDD. It will not boot. When I press the power button, the light will come on for as long as I press the button. There is no chime, and the fans do not spin. Nothing happens except that the light comes on until I release the button. I have tried the logic board reset and the PMU reset. I am not sure of the operating system or anything about the processor as it will not boot. It does have a hard drive and a cd drive. Thank you for your help.

  • Power Mac G4 Won't Boot after Installing 2nd Hard Drive and Additional RAM

    Hello. I am using a Power Mac G4 (PCI graphics) that I bought a few weeks ago. It was working perfectly fine until I tried to add an additional hard drive and add more RAM to the machine. After I closed the case and plugged it back in, it won't start up at all. No sound, no lights, nothing spinning, nothing. I removed the added hard drive and RAM, but it still refuses to start. I don't know what happened. Hopefully it's not a logic board failure or anything else equally bad.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The PowerMac G4 PCI forum is over here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=586
    I'll ask a moderator to move your thread. Try replacing the clock battery, and hitting the CUDAS switch.

  • 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 Won't Boot...New RAM Installed...

    Hey there,
    I was just given a Power Mac G5, QuickSilver. It looked relatively clean inside, and had all the neccessary components already installed except for the RAM. I went ahead and bought 3 PC133 SDRAM modules, but when I put them in, I hear one loud beep and it appears nothing is happening. I can hear the fans blowing inside, but I don't get anything displayed.
    I know this one beep means the computer doesn't see the RAM, but could my battery be dead? Would that also cause the sound?
    Anyone have any other tips or tricks?
    Thanks in advance for any info. I'd like to salvage this bad boy if at all possible.
    Cheers

    Hi-
    Apparently it was one of the launch models for the Quicksilver, or at least that's what I'm told.
    That'll be this one:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg4/stats/powermac_g4_733qs.html
    do you know if there are limitations to how high I can go with hard drives?
    That model/series (QS 2001) only supports up to 137 GB drives (128GB formatted).
    You can use a 160GB drive with no worries regarding the "unused" portion.
    I was kind of wondering if I could purchase a Serial ATA PCI controller card that would allow me to use SATA hard drives.
    Of course you can.
    This will also get rid of the capacity limit.
    However, if you want to boot to the connected drives, not all support boot.
    The best, hands down, controller that also supports boot is the Firmtek Seritek line.
    The 1S2 is as cheap as they come:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Firmtek/FTST1S2/
    I was also given an AGP G4 (400MHz) that was missing the hard drives, RAM, and battery.
    All those parts are basically the same for the QS and the Sawtooth (AGP G4).
    You can try a stick of your new RAM and any ATA hard drive (up to the same limits as the 733 QS) and see if you can get it going.
    Order a new PRAM battery (or 2) from OWC while your at it.
    Always nice to have a fresh one.
    BTW, ALL QS processors are interchangeable.
    That is to say, if you find a deal on any other QS processor (and heatsink), even a dual processor, it is a straight swap.
    Look around my website, as there is a bunch of information that you might find interesting:

  • Power Mac G5 won't boot

    Hi, I have a problem with my G5. When I plug in the power cord the power light lights up and turns off. But when I press the power button nothing happens. All the cables have been tested, but nothing. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated?
    By the way, it is 2004 model Power Mac G5

    Hi,
    Could be so many things, but from the sounds of it it's the Power Supply right now.
    Have you blown the dust out lately?
    Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...
    See which one your G5 has...

  • POWER MAC G5 WON'T BOOT UP AFTER GRAY SCREEN!!!!!!!

    My wife was on my G5 one day and then came and told me it was messed up. When i turned my G5 on, the fans came on and it appeared that it was booting up. The computer got to the gray screen, had the little working icon under the apple logo came on, then it appeared to black out right around the the icon. The screen went black and then the screed said no connection.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi foleypopo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    See if it will boot up to a screen by holding the Option/alt key down at bootup.
    Any results?

  • Power mac g3 won't boot

    Hello, I'm trying to fix a Powermac G3 . I had it working but removed an old hard drive and now the fans come on but nothing else. The only mac keyboard I have is usb. My question is do I need to use a standard keyboard to reset pram and the battery is showing 2.45 on 2v on my millimeter and when it was working it gave the year '56 date on each restart. and I tried the reset at the bottom of the board. This computer belongs to a poor family that want a mac and I don't work with that many macs, I'm doing this for free so any help would be great.

    Scooter's computers
    P.S. Is there any cert for apple like comptia A+

    When you "removed an old hard drive," was this an additional drive connected to the ribbon cable, leaving just one hard drive connected?  If so, and if the remaining hard drive is a Western Digital, its configuration jumper must be moved to master/single (from master w/slave present).  If you replaced the original hard drive with another, the same configuration rules apply, because Cable Select isn't supported.  The G3 will only recognize 128 GBs of capacity, due to the onboard IDE controller.  Once installed, the hard drive will need to be formatted as a Mac OS Extended (HFS+) volume, which requires booting from the Mac OS installer disk or a bootable Mac floppy disk containing the utility "Drive Setup."  I assume that this G3 is a beige model, as opposed to a Blue & White tower with native/onboard USB support.  When connected to a USB PCI card, a USB keyboard isn't recognized until after the USB drivers are loaded, which is too late in the startup sequence to zap the PRAM.  Additionally, the battery voltage reading is too low, and a very weak/dead internal battery can cause startup problems (as well as the incorrect date/time).  The battery can be purchased here, as well as from other online dealers.  You can also check any battery specialty retailers in your area, because it's used in alarm system components.  Although Radio Shack carries a comparable battery, it's incredibly over-priced.

  • Mac Mini won't boot after failed XP installation

    Recently upgrade HD to 320GB 7200 rpm and 3GB ram. Running 10.5.8 fine.
    I tried to install Windows XP through Boot Camp, but wasn't successful, I terminated the installation. Then Mac Mini won't boot up. When powered on, you heard the chime, then grey screen showed and stayed. Tried starting with "C" (boot from CD), "OPT" (boot option), "T" (target), and reset PRAM. None of them worked.
    What should I try next?
    Thanks

    If you install XP on Bootcamp, your startup disc will be changed to XP Windows partitioned you did. To restore your startup disc back to Mac OS, make sure your Mac is turned off. 1. Plug the power back and press the power button ON. When you hear the power On sound, press and hold the ALT key on your keyboard until you see the hardrives. 2. Select the HD that says MAc OS, then your mac will boot back to Mac OS.
    Let me know if you have more problems, maybe I can help.

  • Power Mac g5 hangs on boot up when hot

    My Power Mac G5 hangs on boot up when hot, such as after I have been using it a while. It won't get through the boot up process and I have a blank (dark) screen- no picture. Sometimes the little Mac chime sound doesn't even complete, and it quits abruptly 1/2 way through the sound.
    Once the machine cools it does start... at least so far.
    Any thoughts?

    Any Extra Ram, Extra Peripherals, Aftermarket Video Card?
    Will it boot with a CD?
    When was the last time you checked the RAM in "About this Mac?"
    Can you monitor internal temps thru software ?
    Possible bad ram, bad power supply, bad video card.
    Try removing an extra add-on components and see if that helps.
    Also, I've found startup freezes can corrupt HD start-up files badly.
    Just had similar issue in my single processor, ancient 1.6 Gig G-5.
    Bad Radeon Card. Put the original back in and it works fine.
    Google "G-5 Power Supplies" and check out the information....known issue.
    Good Luck

  • Mac mini won't boot anymore

    My Mac mini won't boot anymore. It's been running fine for months.
    It's running Leopard Server 10.5.2 Build 9C31
    It starts to boot, I get the first spinning gear with the gray screen, then the blue desktop blinks, then a second spinning gear on a gray screen and it appears to hang (the gear stops spinning).
    I booted off the install DVD, ran disk utility, repaired the HD, repaired the permissions: the behavior is the same.
    Safe mode doesn't work (same hang as above).
    Single user mode does work.
    I can connect to it via Server Admin while it appears hung.
