if so were you able to fix it,
and what did you do?The damn thing won't restart.
I have to turn it off manualy to restart. When i try the right way i just get a blue screen and nothing happens.as if that wasn't enough, after a few hours of running the damn CD drive won't open. i hit the key and nothing happens.
IT WONT OPEN!!!!! i have to restart for it to work again.can anyone tell me what the hell is wrong with my damn G5.

Have you tried the usual...Repair permissions in Disk Utility...
...and you are still under the 90day full support cover arent you?.. call Applecare.... they have to help you sort out hardware/software for 90 days. (3years if you bought the extended warranty)

I've had problems with Mac's in the past, but never with OSX. Have you talked to Apple support? One of the reasons why people pay such a premium for Apple is the support. If they cant fix the problem they will replace the parts. If you want to tackle the problem on your own for some reason, then backup your stuff and reinstall the OS.. maybe it would be a good excuse to upgrade to Tiger.

Without trying to sound like I'm patronizing you, all i know is that anytime I've had a problem w/ my g5, I've found others with a similar problem...

sometimes the video card goes bad, an art director here had that problem.

...and even if you are outside the 90 day full support period, you still have a 1 year hardware repair warranty, so call Applecare and ask to schedule a repair... They will then run you through diagnosis to see if a repair is needed.. that might find the problem.
