I have a Power Mac G5 Quad, and it has been a nightmare since day one. I don't mistreat things; in fact, I've spent thousands on this one over the years and it proceeds to perform exceedingly worse with each bit of attention. It runs super slow, even after running Mac Tune Up, Maintenance, and others, and upgrading to 16GB of ram. Its latest problem is that it overheats and just cuts off (goes to sleep) after the slightest bit of work like checking email. I know it needs cleaning, and I've attempted to clean it several times in the past. I remove the side panel and the Plexiglas shield. I remove the dual fan assembly, I simply can not get past this point in disassembly to get to where all the dust, dirt and gunk must surely reside. I just have tried to clean out all that I could get to. Still, it overheats and it is as noisy as can possibly be.
I'll admit that I don't know much... that's rather obvious, but can someone address my issues? Thank you.
