I just resolved an error with my new (school auction winnings) Duel G5 1.8. I moved ram from a Imac g5 that was having KP's and boot problems (found failing capacitors). The tower would not boot - no video, tones, etc, but the light on front would flash and fans would spin up to high. Tried different monitors and booting from DVD. Rest button had no effect. Finally decided to try different ram sticks. 512 (2•256) meg ram and reset button got me running. Tried installing iMac (512 meg) sticks and they weren't recognized, using another 512 meg stick tested one at a time and found the bad one from the iMac. So the tower is running @ 1.5 gig ram and the kid is a happy user again!
