Please Help Me, G5 Broken!

[rph105]

Hey Everyone,

I just installed the software updates today (been meaning to do it for a while now), new itunes, new garageband, new osx update.

After it prompted to restart the grey apple screen came up with the logo and a bunch of code, and keeps telling me to restart. Everytime I restart it does this over and over again.

Screenshot below

Any help will be appreciated

thanks in advance

that looks like a hardware issue. It probably coincided with restarting your computer which can put your computer's bits and pieces through their paces.

Have to tied to boot from the Leopard Install DVD? Do that and repair permissions. Also try and hold down CMD + OPT + P + R when you boot.

Reboot from the OSX CD (hold down C key while computer starts) and re-install the OS. Looks like something got badly corrupted. You can try running the Disk Utility before reinstalling the OS, but, I doubt that will fix it.

I had a similar issue after an upgrade on a G3 years ago, in the end I did nothing, restarted a few times (10+ getting frantic) and then it 'just worked' ii=:!!:=ii

Being a little less painful, an Archive & Install is always worth a try before an Erase and Install.

If you've got a DiskWarrior CD onhand, boot from that and repair your disk

Ive seen panics like that when trying to boot my intel Tiger dvds on my girlfriends G4. I think they update borked your install. You are probably safe if you just reinstall.

If doing the software stuff doesn't help it looks like either bad RAM or a bad processor... I would recommend pulling RAM and seeing if you can track down the problem that way.
