After a 5 day 24/7 stint as the #GlobalTalk Canvas server, today my $8 HARD OFF PowerMac G4 gave up. It started just infinitely boot chiming, giving me a scare. Pulled the plug as I had to run out for family stuff, but after coming back, she's dead…

Luckily the HDD was unharmed, I was able to pull off the Canvas data file and the Canvas server is now somewhat peacefully co-existing with the Chat server on the G3 Wallstreet (although for some reason it did time everyone out once)

Wild guess but is it the power supply?
@kalleboo power supply or bad caps on the motherboard would be my guess.
@piepants @kalleboo PSU feels like a good first guess. Both my G4s had them die/dying. Also repaste at the same time.
