plhox123 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 hey everyone, im in need of some help, recently my powermac g5 1.8gHz dual procesor started shutting itself down, i checked in the logs, says sumthing about thermal runaway..... but it only goes to about 65 degrees celcius then sleeps.... i ran asd 2.5.8 and cpu 0 was fine, cpu 1 said tafs out of range - replace cpu... is there any other thing i can try before i replace the cpu?

evildj Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Replace the Thermal Paste/Compound on the CPU. Also clean the fans and casing of any dust.

KCS Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 i assume its a air-cooled model, then its time to check thermal paste and proper cpu-cooler seating otherwise have a look here > http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/G5_coolant_leaks.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/270055-g5-shutting-itself-down/#findComment-1758835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
