When i wanted to boot my Power Mac G5 (2 x 2.7) this morning. I noticed that there where two red lights on in my case and the screen is blank.

I googled the internet and i found some documentation describing that a red light comes on when you removed the plastic window in your, but my window is still present.

Any one got any ideas about what this problem is and how to solve it.

check to see that the little silver/white tag is on the bottom right tab of the air deflector. If it's not there or scratched I've heard of the red light and full speed fans. If everything looks fine it's time to call Apple. Also check and be sure that the fan in front of the processors, the one you pull out to get to the ram, is seated properly. If it'snot making a proper connection the same thing could happen.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Everything is in place, but my fans don't spin up.

I called the helpdesk, the guy told my that my videocard is probably defect.
