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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
