Hello,
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
I sure did, I am wondering if it is worth fixing?
Did you check the temps?
Hmmm, you could try turning off CPU1 for a test, first CPU is CPU0...
You might try this in Terminal or Single User Mode if you don't have CHUD tools...
sudo nvram boot-args="cpus=1"
The cpus boot argument can range from 1 up to the total number of processor cores on your system.

thanks, if it matters now the light on the cinima display is amber and flashes two and then 3 times and back and forth. I had it running for a while there \, then it did the flashing, (the light above the power button flashes the same code.) I love this computer and would like to keep it going, but I have little money for repairs
Older meanings...
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.
For the LCD...
If one of the Apple LCD displays detects an error condition, the power LED will flash in a certain pattern to indicate the issue.
| Pattern | Meaning |
| short, short, short | The display is detecting wrong video format or an unsupported resolution. Verify that your equipment is compatible and restart the computer. If the issue continues, reset the PRAM. |
| short, long, short | Make sure you are using the correct power adapter with the display. This alert will only appear on displays built in 2004 or later which require an external power adapter. |
| short, short, long | The display is detecting a backlight error. Check your display's power connections and restart the computer. If the problem continues, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. |
