Anyone else have a Dual 1.8 G5? Problems?

[MnM]

Man, I got a dual 1.8ghz and it locks up on me too. When playing medal of honor spear head demo, and sometimes running regular programs such as itunes and ichat right after i run medal of honor. I thought it was my old monitor or that i need more ram or something. Maybe I should call apple about this?

I re-installed the OS (erased the drive first) like "bobw" had mentioned and everything seems to be working fine for almost a week now. I almost have all my other stuff installed and still everything is working fine. I would highly recomend a re-install on a new machine with problems.

Now, for a totally new problem... I cannot do the usuall hold down "c" key or "option" key while starting up. I have tried many times and it never boots from the DVD that came with the G5 and it nevers gets to the area where you can select what device you would like to start-up with, so I can never start with the hardware test. BTW, this was a problem before and after the clean install.

I started a new thread for this new problem:
