As the title said.
I have been running a G5 1,8Ghz on 10,5.2 for near a decade without a single problem, till now.
The hard drive packed it in with an unused space catelogue error so I salvaged the data using Disc Warrior but could not salvage the disc itself so I replaced it with a 1TB Western Digital green drive .
Up untill a year ago I had been using a quicksilver to do all the OS 9 stuff , but the striped drive failed & I am yet to fix it so thought I would partition the 1Tb drive into 4 and multiboot with 10.2 10.3 & 10.5 with the 4th partiton to hold the data files .
Got it set up on a spare 1.6 Ghz G5 and working fine so swapped the new drive into the old G5 and here is where the fun started.
No video
tried another cable same story, no signal to monitor
Tried both cables & monitor on the 1.6 Ghz & they all worked fine.
Pulled the video card out of the 1.6 and put it in the 1.8, still no signal
Popped the 1.8's card in the 1.6 ( same cards ) and it worked fine
Put the original cad back in the 1.8 and it worked for a brief period, but the desktop failed to build & the keyboard / mouse were inoperative
did a forced restart with the power button & back to no video
Any ideas ?
Do slots go bad all by themselves ?
have I made some sort of fatal mistake ?
I would really like to use the 1.8 as it has the 8 ram slots & 8gb of ram plus wifi
