Well, lately I've ben having multiple problems with my iMac G5 (iSight).

Mainly dealing with connecting to the internet. It will connect fairly easily, but when it tried to disconnect it takes a really long time or doesn't at all and I have to unplug the modem from the back. Sometimes after disconnecting and reconnecting the modem the screen will go grey and it will say something lke,"You need to restart your computer".

Frontrow seems to stay open even after I shut it down. So it completely bogs my computer down if I accidently turn it on.

One of the last problems is sometimes when I put my computer to sleep it's shut the monitor off then the light would stay on and the fans would kick on full speed, I had to shut it off to stop it.

My specs are in my sig, I'm guessing all of these would be fixed if I got more ram. Thanks.

Try clearing your PRAM and NVRAM, then repairing permissions after rebooting.

I'll give it a try. But now my superdrive isn't readin blank CDs and I have one dead pixel. I'm buying the warranty next time.

Aren't you still within the 1yr warranty?

Run the Apple hardware test app (on the install DVD) and see what happens. Even if it turns out OK, and you're sure it ain't a software/OS issue, then bring it in. Your problems seem too widespread.

Yeah, it only came out in October.
