This G5 Powers On But No Chime Nothing Other Than The Fans Turn On Power Mac G5

Chosen Solution

My G5 powers on, but does nothing other than run the fans - MOST of the time ! Every 10 - 15th try to turn it on, it WILL Activate and perform as designed ! - Monitor lights up, I log onto my account, ALL Programs work as designed… However, IF I put it to sleep, OR Shut it down, it goes right back to NOT Activating again…just the fans activating… PLEASE help !

First try zapping the PRAM. How do you zap the PRAM? Boot the computer and immediately hold down the following key combinations: COMMAND-OPTION-P-R.The computer will re-boot and you will hear a chime.Release the keys and allow the computer to boot normally.The PRAM has now been zapped.I usually do this three times.
