I have had to shut down the G5 PPC tower twice for continuous hight fan noise in the last week and on the last restart I had a metallic pinging noise coming from the computer until the operating system booted. I also had a message that it could not read the disk that was in the dvd drive and there was no disk in drive. Can anyone give me some clue as to what might be going on?
running leopard 10.5, machine is about 4 years old and using the original hard drive. No other issues with machine.
