Thanks again!

Grrr. this is the second time I'll have to send a computer back. My first G5 was DOA.

If I do end up sending my computer back would you recommend taking out the hard drives to make sure all my work is safe? I am running two internal drives and my external doesn't have enough room to back them both up...
It may be a software issue, in which case sending it back won't buy you anything. But it's probably worth ruling out hardware as an issue (you may wish to try running the diagnostics on the DVD that shipped with the machine.)

But the first thing you should do is buy enough hard drive space to back everything up. If you can't afford to lose it by sending it into the shop, you can't afford to lose it by having the drive crap out.
