Hello every one
first i want to make something clear: i am not on any illegal substance (at least not when i hear that weird sound
).
I hear from time to time a bipping sound coming from the powermac G5. it's a dual 2Ghz processor with 2Gb of Ram. It's been a few month now that from time to time i hear a "bip" sound coming out of the mac. It's at 1 or 2 second interval and it's not loud at all, you have to turn off all music around it to hear it. it almost sounds like a bomb type of sound (like in the movie).
At first i thought i was really crazy, even my wife told me stop working so late, but she also heard it.
it's really worrying me. I ran all possible test: OS and hardware and every thing comes out "A OK". The Mac does even act very well, nothing to complain about. So in a way it's more frustrating.
Did anybody had the same problem by any chance?
I did not find anything about this on the apple website.
I was thinking of the battery that we see on the mother board. it might a signal to say that it's almost done. I have seen some weird thing in the past for pc motherboard. Even though i love Mac and i am a MacAddict, i would not be surprise that something like that exist.
So if anybody has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.
cheers
