yesterday my g5 (dual 2) started to get loud, the fan kicked in at some point when i wasn't even working on it and just stayed loud... i started to go to reset it and i got a kernel panic... i restart... at some point during the night it started to make a weird loud fan noise again... i put it to sleep. i got up, went to wake it up, and it kernel panic'd immediately.
i am going to start it back up in a minute... i'm running 10.3.2. only one hard drive in it... i've repaired permissions... reset pram... going to do file system check next.
anyone experience something like this?
i read about drives failing, but what is weird is that the fan would suddenly kick in really loud, which didn't seem to be happening in what i read of the drive failures..
anyhoo, kinda just curious if anyone else has seen this, and what has come of it. going to do some more testing (ie, booting from fiwi drive, etc) and see what happens. worst case i back up what i need and bring it to apple...
