My PPC G5 dual proc 1.8 Ghz running OS X 10.4.11, is indicating only
>1 cpu in activity monitor.
Further development:
I have performed the following: re-seated memory, blown out dust,
reset NVRAM, Run Applejack, Onyx.
The machine is now exhibiting totally random behavior upon start-up
NO bong
Grey screen with circle and diagonal icon
Black start-up screen
Blue start-up screen with text on black background : system failure:
cpu=0 code= 00000000 (debugging trap) exception state (sv=0x3OCB2780)
Blue screen with black rectangle box with text : you need to restart
your computer. Hold down the power button.....etc
SPOD while attempting to start-up
Successful start, Activity monitor shows TWO cpus and after a few
minutes, system freezes. No mouse movement, no clock
Successful start, Activity monitor indicates 1 cpu all apps work fine
for a couple of hours (like the present moment ), subsequently
followed by tremendous loud continuous high intensity fan activity
and SPOD, after which I manually shut down with power button
Also, at times, the following error log:

I attempted to remove the rear fan assembly, but couldn't get past
removing the metal cover with 2 G5 logos.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers, Les
