Is my Power Mac G5's Hardware Causing Problems?

My Power Mac G5's specifications can be viewed here, since the panic attacks are extremely long.

I have recently had the following problems:

1. Mac showed a blank screen ( this lasted a day, connecting to the second port on the Mac fixed it ).

2. My Mac has at least 30 damaged SUID files says were damaged and will not be repaired.

3. No versions of Flash Player will install, even on different user accounts.

Is any hardware in my Power Mac G5 damaged?

Yes I did try your file, however it gave me the same error as the other two, this version of flash is not compatible with PPC macs. 10.1.102.64 has the file inside of it. I noticed that I made a mistake, the file that failed is .lzma. Strangely though, the Unarchiver couldn't open it. Do you have an idea of what's going on?

I'm not giving up, but don't have any idea what is going on yet. 😟

Where exactly IS this .lzma file?

I just downloaded mine again & tried, but since I have a hack installed to report it as a later version, it tells me it can't install due to a later version already installed.

The file is called "flashplayer.plugin.lzma". I have no idea if the .plugin. makes a difference. On my mac, it tells me that it cannot be installed beccause it doesn't work on Power PC Macs.

Was that maybe part of the 10.3.183.90 download?

I believe so. The same file was used when I previously tried manually installing it with Pacifist.

I thought of something. I am going to to use my other computer to install the 10.1.102.64 version of Flash. Then grab all the files from it and drag it into my Power Mac G5

10.1.102.64, but we tried that I thought?

We did. I am trying it again. I think it may be because the mac cannot unpack the .lzma file, since it says it has no set application to do it. Which would explain why the mac cannot install a version of Flash Player that should work.
