Re: My Power mac keeps restarting #Mac #Hardware


 

If it's been used since 2008 it will have built up a lot of dust inside. Have you had a look?

The machine is from 2008, but it does all I need it to do. However, I fear that the fans are not what they used to be and probably need replacing. If I use it for any length of time it resets. If I leave it with the log on page after it resets, in a few hours it resets again. it makes a horrible noise when booting. I think it is the fan but I am open to suggestions.

The question is : does anyone know where I can purchase replacement fans for this old but virile computer? I really do not want to part with it. Call me silly, but it has been through a lot with me and I do not want to just discard it when it can still perform.

BTW, I am on El Capitain since that is the last OS version that I can download.
