This powerful computer needs a repair
Although this model is no more officially supported by Apple, it is still widely used by many designers, music producers and video editors. With some computer skills one can bring this machine back to live, actually, it only needs a motherboard and a hard drive.
Repair details: motherboard has a defective soldering in the memory controller area, needs a reflow (you can find online how to do it) or a replacement (starting from $39 on the online auctions). This is a well known issue with some G5 macs.
