System Locks up overnight

[samsc]

is this still happening?

[tylerr]

yes it sure is but only when I am not on the show with it.

It has actually gotten worse apparently.

On the last show the machine seems to loose the SCSI drive but will regain it if you wiggle everything.

Its not a software problem other than maybe an OS issue.

We are going to start over with the os and then we will start replacing hardware.

sounds like a scsi problem

possibly a terminator issue.

try getting the terminators i recommended.

its only happening on 1 of our 4 machines. which ones do you like?

[samsc]

sounds even more like a scsi or cabling problem.

try swapping the cables, or removing the cables from the machine thats not working correctly.

[samsc]

i think its these terminators.

they mount directly in front of the drive in a pass-through configuration inside a g5 - if you are using internal drives.

well i have replaced the SCSI cables on the 2 older machines and the "lemon" still locked up on me but durring rehersal. I am now going to swap out the SCSI card. The odd part is the fans defaulting to high. Or does this happen any time a G5 locks up?
