Hi everyone.
Hope someone will be able to help since Apple isn't doing anything. They say they are trying but ???? Here's what's going on. I decided to upgrade my perfectly working Powermac G5 Quad with 5gb of ram to Leopard the next day it came out and i have been having proplems ever since.
My computer is crashing, freezing and even getting some Kernel Panic. Most of the time it's happening while running simple aps. like iTune, mail or iPhoto. I sometimes hear a cliking sound comming from my tower and then it will crash. A few times, (4) all my fans started blowing like crazy and i had to hard reset my computer with the power button. I re-installed Leopard a few times now and it's still the same. At one point, iPhoto wouldn't even open. I ran all the hardware test with the install disk and everything seems ok. Here's the message i got last night after my fans started going crazy and got this Kernel panic:

Can anyone make any sense of this. Don't forget that this Powermac never had any problem's B4 Leopard and that it's been the most stable Mac i had. I'm so pissed off at me for making that switch. I spent at least 6 hours on the phone with apple in two different occasion and most of that time was waisted just waiting for someone to answer.
Thank's in advance for any help or advices you could send my way.
