Likely it's rime to replace the thermal paste between the CPUs & the Heatsinks.
If it's a G5 Quad, it'd be 2.5 GHz though & check for coolant leaks...

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card

I have an older Power Mac G5 Quad, and my video card just went out. I am trying to find a video card that will work for my Power Mac. I have duel screens but I can't seem to find the appropriate video card. The serial number on my computer is: RM620603R6W. Apple won't help me because the computer is older than suggested. Please give me the exact video card that will work best for my computer.

Hi Mike, make sure the card has Mac ROM, or is a PC card with Mac ROMs flashed to it...

Hello!
I want to upgrade my Power Mac G5 Quad (Mac OS X 10.5.8) for video editing purposes.
Rendering,editing and exporting takes some time on my computer. I just want things to go faster.
What upgrades should I make?
Thanks in advance!!!

Here are other video cards that you can search for that will also work in your G5.
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT with 256 MB of GDDR3 SDRAM, and NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 with 512 MB of GDDR3 SDRAM

Video Card Recommendation for Power Mac G5 Quad

Can anyone recommend a video card upgrade for my Power Mac G5 Quad?
I am now running the nVIDIA GeForce 6600 card that came in the machine, but I'm wondering how much performance increase I'll see with a large image library in Aperture if I upgrade. I'm interested in all comments.
Also, is there a "medium" upgrade and a "kick-***" upgrade?
Thanks!
G5 Quad / 4.5GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I hate to say it: At the moment there is no graphics card upgrade available for the G5 Quad and the other PCI-Express Power Macs. There are a lot of threads about this topic in this forum. It is simply a shame that Apple does not offer any graphics upgrade for their former top of the line machines - but they do offer them for their new Intel Mac Pro. Maybe one day ATI will offer an upgrade, but at the moment this is just a rumor. All you can do now is to buy a reflashed PC version of the GeForce 7800 or buy a ridiculously priced spare part GeForce 7800 from a store who is willing to sell you one (there is one on the web but i forgot the url).
Power Mac G5 DualCore 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have a Power Mac G5 quad core (2006) and it does not work.

I have a Power Mac G5 Quad core (2006) and it does not work.The status light flashes twice and the fans blow full blast. The display does not show anything. Does anybody know what is wrong with my mac.

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.

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, should be the 1st one ..

Power mac g5 quad cpu runing hot

ok my power mac g5 quad the top cpu core 1 and 2 are runing really hot and ween itryed to turn it on this moring the fans all went to max and shut off i then tryed to trun it on again and it just went 'click' and i unpluged ever thing left it alon and came back about a hour later and tuned it on and ween it got to the main desk top the fans were on max and the top cpu cores were about 155f 165f and the outher cpu was runing fine what could this be a computer guy told me this could be that i need new thermal paste pleassss help

The thermal paste degrades after 3-5 years of use.
Whether anyone wants to or not, the thermal paste in ALL G5 machines needs replaced.
LCS systems, even without leaks, can have reduced performance due to sludge buildup or loss of volume due to evaporation and escape of those liquid vapors.
Serious consideration should be made towards rebuilding the LCS for longevity of the computer.

Power Mac G5 Quad: crashed and now seizing up and other major problems

My Power Mac (G5 Quad) crashed twice today (screen froze and stopped responding to mouse and keyboard), both when rendering in an application called Artlantis, although that could be a coincidence. Another possible culprit is that I used Migration Assistant to move a user account, applications and root level files from an Intel machine, onto this machine recently.
After the second crash startup was slow and problematic. Mouse wouldn't respond although I was able to type in username and password to login. I was able to manipulate things with keyboard but not mouse. Everything seemed to seize up and then it would follow some of the commands I'd made via the keyboard and then seize up again. I do remember one other instance of having a similar crash and symptoms about a week ago, before I migrated the Intel-based account, so maybe that's not the problem.
I managed, with some difficulty, to start up with the Install disk (10.4.2) and do a disk verification, which brought up two instances of "Illegal name" (just after the word Catalog). I then did a disk repair which it said was successful. Restarted machine but same problems.
I've tried to backup some data that's not currently backed up, by booting into target mode but the machine tends to seize up after a while. All types of booting seems to be getting gradually more difficult. Leaving the machine off for while helps with booting.
Booted into super user and did fsck, which it said was okay. Booted into Hardware Test and did an extended test which said it passed. The Hardware Test and the super user mode seemed to be the only modes that could run without the machine seizing up.
To get the data that's not backed up off the machine I wondered about taking the hard drive out and putting it into another of our Quad G5s... good idea or bad?
As for finding out what's wrong, any advice?

Just some more observations. Hoping for new external hard drive to turn up today. In the time being I've been using the machine out of urgency.
The crashes seem to happen after an hour or two of using the machine. Most of the time there is no need for a hard shut down. The interface seizes up but after a minute or so I'm able to use the keyboard, including navigating between applications (command-tab) and shutdown (ctrl-eject -> tab to shutdown). Also, network or application processing activity continues, though what appears to be in a stuttering start-go manner. Activity on the keyboard seems to help this activity along, or at least helps you see any progress. If there's no activity on the keyboard the graphic interface catches up every moment or so on its own (just less often than if you're taping on the keyboard).

Upgrade Power Mac G5 Quad to Leopard

Hi, we have a Power Mac G5 M9592LL/A with Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165) and I would like to install Leopard 10.5.8.
Where can I buy this upgrade?

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

Power Mac G5 Quad - 6 GB RAM - OSX 10.5.8 - Max RAM available?

Hello All,
I have (as the subject reads) a G5 Quad 2.5 GHz with 6 GB RAM running OSX 10.5.8. I use it as a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and have a question regarding RAM and "bits."
Is my computer capable of using all 6 GB of RAM at this point? How much RAM could I add - if any - and get the most out of my machine? I read somewhere that Leopard can only handle 4 GB of RAM, but am not too sure. I would like to max out the RAM, but if it only handles 4 GB, then there's no point. I have a Pentium 4 PC with 4 GB RAM and know that XP can handle only up to ~3.6 GHz, but OSX I am not too sure.
Lastly, what bit-rate is my computer capable of? The box says it is 64 bit, but as I understand, Leopard is only 32 bits. Since the businessmen at Apple chose to make 10.6 available only for Intel Macs, it seems that 64 bits will not be available on my machine. Pretty confusing stuff...
So, what do you guys think? What's the max RAM that my G5 Quad can use running OSX Leopard? And what exactly is the "bits" deal with my setup all about?
Thanks in advance for your help! Happy new year!
Cheers,
Cam.

You can add 2*2GB sticks to the 6*1GB sticks you have, no penalty.
I'd update to 10.5.8 & any other updates, he latest Security update seemed to improve both CPU & RAM usage.
I have 10GB...

Do I need Airport Extreme Enabler for my Power Mac G5 Quad

I have a Power G5 Quad. Do I need the Airport Extreme Enabler Software to connect to my Belkin N1? Will I need it to connect to an Airport Extreme Base station with 802.11n?

I have a Power G5 Quad. Do I need the Airport Extreme Enabler Software to connect to my Belkin N1?
No, as your G5 is not "upgradable" to 802.11n.
Will I need it to connect to an Airport Extreme Base station with 802.11n?
No, as you should be able to connect your G5 to the new AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11g.

Power Mac Video Capture card for G5 Quad

Can anyone direct me to where I can get a video capture card for my Power Mac G5 Quad.
I would like to directly connect my DVD player to my G5.
Can I do this and what do I need and where can I get it. Thank you for your guidance!

Canto makes a nice firewire video digitizer for under $ 200 that will handle full (non-HD) resolution video. If you already have a mini-dv camera or can find a used one cheap (maybe one where the tape transport is bad) you can connect the camera to your G5 via Firewire, and then use the camera's auxiliary video and audio inputs to connect the source you want to digitize.
