Re: Problem with G-5
Unplug the machine and remove the pram battery for 15 min and try again...check the DVD CDroom jumpers for Slave or master and also is your NEw memory is compatible with Apple if the FANS are spinning faster and you see a red led light be side the power botton location...something is set up wrong...VERY IMPORTANT - PUT IT BACK THE PLASTIC COVER before turn in ON.

Richard Yeah the slot numbers are real hard to see. the RAM needs to be matched in size and speed also respect the slots in pairs like one on each side from the center out.
