Re: G5 Fan Calibration

Also, before installing the new logic board, I tried running ASD and it would start to run then the G5 would just freeze. That's when I started looking for another logic board.

Re: G5 Fan Calibration

Thanks for the reply. I tried several of the things you recommended; checked the Pram battery for proper type and checked the voltage, removed and cleaned the ram contacts (not with graphite) several times, tried all the ram slots in various combinations, reset the Cuda switch as per Apple ...

Re: G5 Fan Calibration

Well, I don't really plan to bake the MB even though there are numerous posts on the web from people who have successfully done it. I disassembled the G5 yesterday and inspected the back of the MB with a magnifying glass and saw nothing that appeared wrong. I've twice cleaned the Ram contacts with ...

G5 Fan Calibration

Hi All

Re: Safari Crashing

An archive and install first copies the current system to a "Previous System" folder before doing the install. The problem was only in the admin account, a user account Safari was fine. The solution, as you suggested, was repairing permissions; several were incorrect.

Thanks for the help!

Re: Safari Crashing

As I said in my post, weather.com works on all my other systems and in Firefox on the iMac. As I recall, what I did was an archive and install. I wanted to just reinstall Safari but the installer did not give me that option, even in the "custom install" mode. After installing 10.4.7 from the DVD and ...

Re: Safari Crashing

Safari has suddenly started aborting when I go to the weather URL [www.weather.com]. About 3/4 of the first page loads, then Safari aborts every time. Using a 2.16 GHz core 2 duo iMac, OS 10.4.11, Safari 4.1.2. The abort msg is "Kernal bad address". However, Safari 4.1.2 on my G5, OS 10.4.11 works ...
