"post/12288/0" what's this referring to?
I get error: post/1228/0 after running the Apple hardware test.
I've tried re-seating memory, removing graphics card, resetting pram, etc.
The machine doesn't get past the Apple logo before it shuts down.
And I've just replaced the duff PSU with an identical (working) PSU. Is that the problem?
Is this a good question?

What OS (OS's) are you using (if you are using something other than OS-X and which release)? Was the system flaky before you encountered this error?

What happens when you remove the RAM and disconnect the HD internally? Any difference?

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your input.
I'm using OS 10.5.8, which is the the last pre-Intel OS you can use on the Power Mac G5. And I'm not sure what you mean by "flaky". I get no hints of anything springing into life, if that's what you mean.
I removed RAM and the HD connections. All I got was a flashing "?" and folder looking for start-up instructions. Tried a G5 install disk and it wasn't recognised.
Reassembled and again nothing past the Grey screen and Apple logo and then it quit. As before!

Flaky - erratic running, sometimes its OK other times not or odd issues happening unexpectedly.
