My friend has a Dual 1.25GHz G4 (MDD of course.) I helped him set it up and everything, so I know the computer was set up right. But all of a sudden today it started shutting itself off. Now, my theory was that it was overheating, and went we pointed a fan at it, it worked fine. Then, on a hunch, I downloaded Temperature Monitor to find out just how hot it was getting. Well, it's staying close to 136.5 degrees faranheit. This seemed kind of high to me, so I checked the spec sheet for a G4, and it says that the operational temp shouldn't get higher than 95 degrees. When I put my hand around the system, it doesn't feel that hot, which is making me wonder if it really is that hot, or if it's an internal thermometer problem which is telling the computer it's too hot even if it's not. Any way to check that without bringing it in?
