I opened my G4 case to install a video card and now I can't close it. If I close it, the Power Mac beeps at me and the screen remains black. I don't know what could be the cause...it's the first time it ever does this to me. If I leave it about 30 or 25 degrees opened it works...but fully closed is no go. So right now I have it fully opened. Anyone ever encountered this problem?

Nevermind...it decided to cooperate now.

When my G4 operated while it was open, its tmperature was 16 celsius...now that it is closed, its temperature is at 12 celsius. Guess that means the fan works at cooling the cpu
