RE: PM G5 Dual 2.5Ghz
As soon as I plug my G5 in, the Hard drive spins up without touching the power button. Could it be the power supply or Logicboard, or something else?
Also I tried three different LCS system combos, switching the cpus around on each( two booted but overheated fairly quickly( I rebuilt them previously, maybe it's time to drain ,clean, then refill). I ended up not using the LCS systems at all, and switched it to the 2.0 heatsinks. I didn't use ASD 2.5.8 on it yet as the fans(which are on medium high) keep things nice and cool for now.
thx

Does it boot up as well? Or is it just the drive? If its the former, its set to turn on after power failure and can be changed in system prefs. If the its just the drive.. Then I got nothing. As does nobody else judging by the number of views on here so far. Try another drive maybe?
