G5 iMac shuting down
Been along time since I've post here, anyways, my iMac keeps shuting down.
2nd gen G5 iMac
2Ghz
20in
1gb ram
I believe that the processor is over heating. It shut downs when I'm using processor intensive items, mainly when I'm playing WOW. I usualy have vent on, and sometimes iTunes playing. It likes to shutdown in the middle of MC raids or when i'm PVPing >< not too fun.
Any ideas on what I can do? I think i've had it for a bit under a year so I should still have the 1-year apple care on it.

Call Apple. It's a serious problem that can damage every part of the computer. I would call them immediately.

I'm still trying to figure out if you're a girl posing as Macboy4139, or a boy posing as a girl, and a bit confused sexually. <shrug> laughinol

Re: G5 iMac shuting down
Both my mother and my sister have had that generation of iMac burn up. It has something to do with the power source and/or motherboard. Take it in to an apple store and they should fix it for you.
You have an absolutely breath-taking... heiney. I mean, that thing's good. I wanna be friends with it.

I haven't had single problem with my iMac (first generation). However, the room temperature where I keep the iMac is set to under 70 degrees.
