I bought my pair of mirror door G4's new and the fans were noisy. People complained about the noise. Apple came out with a firmware update that quieted (Slowed) the fans. Recently my G4's have begun to simply quit. I suspected overheating so I installed Antec Super blowers in the

Well, I've about thrown in the towel on this. I've replaced the scythe fan with the original and set everything correctly and when I put the system to sleep I got a kernel panic upon wake. The only things I can imagine may be the problem is the power supply or the processor? I don't get it. If

Yes definitely clean it use an air compressor, or a can of compressed air. A toothbrush can work well to clean the slots. Make sure you take out all the ram, and basically anything that is plugged in especially the processor to clean. -Jonas On Sun, Nov 1, 2009 at 8:18 PM, Richard Smallwood
