Q: iMac G5 randomly shuts down
Hi, I have a very old iMac G5, and it has been working fine for me for the long time that I've had it, but recently it randomly shuts down. I've tried a SMC reset, I bought a new power strip to plug the Mac into, but nothing works and it just keeps shutting down. Any and all answers will be helpful.
And why the heck can't I post in the "iMac" community?
