I have a dual 2.0 GHz G5. On occasion, all the fans start running full speed. I know that this is a common problem with this particular model, but I've searched all the forums for a fix to no avail.
My guess is that the CPU heat sinks are not seated right, maybe the "goo" is dried out, the "thermal grease" thread brought the possibility back to mind. At work, I had a server that was doing the same dance, and reseating the heatsinks on the CPU's fixed it. Does anyone know how the get into the processors on a dual 2.0 GHz G5? For some reason, Apple has apparently removed all the Tech Docs for this particular model from their website.
