If someone has looked at this issue and determined it to be a logic board problem then the only solution is to replace the entire logic board.
You can purchase them on usedmac.com here for $289: http://www.usedmac.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=34_160&products_id=2384&osCsid=555099ea1dd6e69fa573fbc345fbe149
Here are instructions on replacing the logic board yourself: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-iMac-G5-17-Inch-Model-A1058-Logic-Board/971/1
Probably the OS 10.5 version your're installing is not compatible or supported by the system motherboard of your computer model Apple Power Mac G5. per my research from Apple website herewith is their solution quote on what applicable OS to install for such model: "Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) and iMac G5 (iSight) models require Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later, you can t install Final Cut Pro 3.x or earlier versions on these computers. Final Cut Pro 3.x and earlier versions are not supported on any computer running Mac OS X 10.4". best regards
The fan runs hard when I start it up and no picture?
Not sure of your question here.
You want to replace the mac OS with XP?
If that is the question your mac needs to have an intel processor, Boot Camp or Parallels installed.
Boot Camp will let you boot up in XP.
