Howdy! I am new here - hopefully someone can help me out.
I just bought my first Powermac, a dual 2GHz G5, about a month ago. I love it, but it is scaring me. It is doing two things that are weird.
First off, when major screen updates are taking place (such as Expose), something in the computer (not my monitor) makes a screeching sound. It's extremely faint - maybe I just have sensitive hearing, or maybe the windows need to be oiled. ::ha:: It's not a big deal, but has anyone else experienced this?
The real problem, though, is that every so often (anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours), something in the computer goes *click*. It sounds similar to an electrical relay clicking on. I have no way to predict it, so I haven't been able to determine where it's coming from in the computer.
Is this clicking normal? What could it be? What can I do about it? Thanks!
