Hi ive got a Dual 2Ghz G5 with 1Gb RAM, ive had it since december and has been running Logic 7 sweet. However i go to turn it on the other day and it will not boot up. I hear the chime noise and the fans start to run. But no display comes up at all. I have tried the apple help site and have tried restetting the PMU but it hasnt helped. The mouse lights up as normal, so i presume the keyboard is getting power as the mouse is USB'ed off it. So just to test its not the monitor for sure, i waited a while incase it was booting up with out displaying. I then pressed the eject on the keyboard to try and open the DVD, but nothing happened. The only other thing is if i leave it running for a few minutes the fans get faster and faster and sound like its not going to stop, so i power it down by holding the power button.
Any help would be grateful! |

my G5 is doing this exact same thing as I type (i'm using a different computer to write this). This is the second time this has happened. Where the fans just start getting louder and louder and stay at full blast. Last time I decided to hold down the power and shut it off midway through this. Now I am not so sure I should do that because I'm afraid I might damage something. Why does this happen? What can I do to stop this?
