The Underscore Archives

morning _,

been struggling with this for a while!

for quite some time, my dual g5 has had issues with recognising the
monitor when waking from sleep, though originally (> 12 months ago) it
was an occaisional thing, now it's almost every time. It also didn't
used to have a kernal panic, but now soon after I hit space the fans
go mental and the only option (that I know of) is to force shut down
via the power button.

I decided it was time to start a fresh with a new OS, so I purchased a
new HD, and put a clean install of leopard on it.

Everything was running smoothly, so I put the G5 to sleep last night,
when I try to wake it this morning, I get a kernel panic (I assume),
because the monitor stays off and the fans go mental!

is this most likely to be a hardware issue? GPU on the way out
perhaps, a botched power supply, dodgy ram or something else? There's
no Airport card (I've heard they can die), no 3rd party hardware other
than a router attached via ethernet and very little software (I did
install little snitch, that's the only thing I can think of that's
running all the time). When it's on it's running like a dream though.

Dual 2ghz g5
10.5.4

I've checked my system.log, and there's no entries for the crash as
far as I can tell, it goes from when I put to sleep to when I booted
up after forcing the shut down via the power button (first entry is
cause of my botched httpd.conf, which I'm not using cause I've
installed MAMP - that's no longer an issue as web sharing is off).
