Hello,
I decided to add RAM to my sons, my old G5, It was running 4 GB, 4 x
512 and 2 x 1 GB in 6 of the 8 slots. I added 2 x 1 GB to the two
empty slots and it did not recognize the RAM. I removed the 2 x 1 GB
and rebooted ... I got the 3 blinks on the power button. I shut dowand
retsarted 30 seconds later and the same. We did not swap any of the
RAM around, just added 1 GB to each slot 4.
I have since removed ALL the RAM and inserted pairs . I still get the
3 blinks no matter which of the old pairs I put in. I can not get
beyond the 3 blinking lights.
2005, G5, 2.7 dualie running 10.5.8.
Being the impatient sort ... and 14 years old ... my son coerced me into
doing something quickly ... so I bought a G5 dual 2.3 for $111 including
shipping ... swapped the HDs and video card out, installed 6 GB RAM from
the old computer ... pressed the CUDA ... then the power button and put
a smile on his face.
I will probably be swapping the processors later and parting out what I
have left. 1.5 GB RAM, 2.3 Ghz dual processors, 160 GBHD, and case and
such.
Thanks for all the help ... but Gordian Knot was too complicated ...
just slash and burn!
