I'm seeking input on the cure to fix one of the other Macs in our classroom. It's a iMac G5.. not entirely sure of the specifications. It's a video editing computer but has remained unhooked due to some problem thats been plaguing it (like all the other Macs in our department).
Anywho, once Mac OS X has loaded the desktop, the fans go into "jet speed". I've messed around with it, putting it to sleep, logging out and logging in. The fans only roar when the machine is fully logged in.. making me think its some sort of task. When its at the login window when its first booting up, it doesn't make noise.. and usually doesn't make noise the first few minutes its turned on.. then it starts "roaring". I've opened Activity Monitor and didn't see anything using high CPU or whatnot.. so I'm not entirely sure how to pinpoint the problem. If it helps, I'm quite sure that its running Tiger (10.4).
Advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jake
