[G5] Drive Fan Blasting All The Time

[Wayne Wilkin]

Had a few of these myself. Had to bring the computer to apple, they told me that they had to run a utility on the computer to re calibrate the power supply. They said the computer thought that the power supply was over heating it was not and the only way to fix it was to re calibrate it.
