David I had this problem with my G5 Quad. It started happening once or twice a month and got more and more frequent. I got it repaired under AppleCare, it turned out one of the processors was on the way out and was replaced. On my G5 there are LEDs on the motherboard that lit up when the system froze, is there anything similar on yours that could help diagnose the problem?
