Since I got my computer in January, it's been offline, and therefore had no updates.
Recently, it started to "breathe heavily" -- the fan would turn on and off very quickly twice. This would happen occassionally. Today, I lugged it into the house for an update (including PowerPC) and now it's huffing all the time. Has anyone else experienced this? FCP Studio 250 G Quad G5 4.5 G Ram Thanks, Mike
Go to a Mac site like [www.macfixit.com] and do a search for "G-5 fan noise". You'll find that this is a common problem with a variety of solutions.

There is a widget for Dashboard (free from the Apple.com site) that displays the temperatures and Fan RPMs going on inside your box.
That will help you to determine which fan is breathing heavy, in the first place, and which temperature sensor is causing which fan to cycle that way. Armed with that data, you might have a better and quicker (maybe even cheaper) fix to the hardware problem going on. Remember last Summer whan CBS2 took a PC, unplugged the harness to the power supply, then took it to 10 computer repair places? hahahahahah 10 different answers. the most embarassing one came from Best Buy!
