happened again
Ok, it just happened again. I was working on my PC and I heard the fans on the G5 begin to slowly speed up, so I switched to the Mac and the fans slowly spun up over the course of about a minute until they were running full speed. The computer froze and I couldn't use the keyboard or mouse, and finally I restarted it. I just updated to Tiger 10.4.8, could this have anything to do with it? I also pulled the side panel off when it did froze and when I pulled the clear plastic air flow piece all the fans but the hdd fan dropped down to normal idle speed and the red hardware problem led lit up, and the hdd fan stayed on high. When I replaced the clear air flow piece, the led turned off and all the fans kicked back up to high. This has never happened before today in the 3 weeks I've had it, and its now happened 3 times today, once before updating to 10.4.8 and twice after.
