[G5] Drive Fan Full Blasts All The Time

[Wayne Wilkin]

The few time I have come across this the system had to be brought in to 
apple to have the power supply recalibrated. The fans are doing this 
because the system thinks it's overheating. Had 3 of these happen to 
me. Have you tried booting off the install cd's and run the Hardware 
diag. See what the errors are.
