My apologies for inadvertent swap posts
Hello List, I just wanted to apologize for accidentally posting two WTB messages a little while ago. I just forgot there were two lists. Sorry.

Dead PowerMac G4 Digital Audio Model
Worked flawlessly for many years. Now, without any warning, it just stopped. Won't power up at all, no sign of life whatsoever. Any suggestions where to start? Thanks!

Wonky PowerMac G5 Single Processor Freeze-Ups Resolution
First, thanks to several of you for your input and at least commisseration with my suddenly unreliable five-year old first generation PowerMac running Leopard (random freeze ups, very difficult blue-screen freezes during reboot, that sort of thing). I tried every one of your suggestions I could possible do. Those included running hardware tests on the memory, hard drives, and logic board and doing an archive and install of the Leopard OS. After all hardware checking out fine, I went ahead and replaced the main hard drive with a fresh new one, using Carbon Copy Cloner to create the new drive contents. It took just three reboots to return to freezing and tough restarts. My problem was back and I was beginning to think it was the dreaded logic board failure, causing my first dead Mac after owning more than ten different models since the 512K Fat Mac.. I then tried one last suggestion, that Leopard was basically incompatible with my PowerMac G5 1.6 single processor hardware for some reason. I went back to Tiger and now after nearly a week working hard to make it freeze up, nary a hiccup (or hiccough if you prefer). I think we've solved the problem. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: PowerMac G5 1.6 Single Processor wonky issues
Bruce, I took your advice with an additional bit of info from a link to an Apple document about blue screen freezes and OS 10.5. I'm pleased to say things seem fine now. All the hardware checked out fine (woo-hoo!) and a fresh Archive and Install version of the OS seemed to have removed the freezing tendencies. Thanks for your help.

Anyone have a diagnosis? Your input would be most appreciated. Boot from your 10.5 didsk and run Disk Utility Repair until it says everything's been fixed. While in Disk Utility check the SMART status of your drive. If it says Failed, BACK UP YOUR STUFF and replace the drive,it's on the way out. If the SMART status is OK and Disk Utility cannot fix the problems, Disk Warrior may be able to fix things. Otherwise, back up your stuff, if needed, and nukepave the drive: reformat, re-install 10.5, and all updates and restore your stuff. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
