In Activity Monitor, click on the "% CPU" header, and check the topmost processes (the ones using more CPU %): then report them here, so we can understand what's going on. > I have checked it many times and even when the > computer is first turned on the activity monitor still shows the processor > at 100% and soon the fan will kick in. Usually, after boot there shouldn't be anything using more than 1-2% CPU. (the computer is - should be - idle, actually) > I ran the Apple hardware test on it and everything passed. I don't think it's an hardware issue. The CPU do not keep busy himself, just for the sake of it. ;-) -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
