As it says really, my G5 1.8 DP won't spin up the fans while I'm running SETI. This has been happening in Classic and BOINC versions.

Obviously I'm concerned about possible damage to my Mac, especially as there are issues about overheating hard drives.

Cheers,

Andy.

Don't worry about it. The fans only spin up when it's getting too warm inside. If they don't, it's cool enough.
