What causes my iMac G5 iSight to freezes, have kernal Panics, and have
my mouse/keyboard goes dead at times?
I ve tried resetting PRAM, reinstalling Mac OS 10.4.2, updating to
10.4.11, I still have these problems.
Here's a long discussion of an identical problem:

I agree, it's likely either RAM, HD, or heat. Heat happens mainly when
the HD goes bad; or when the cooling fan dies, which you can usually
feel or hear. Also, the iMac G5 was known to run hot to begin with, so
it doesn't take much extra to cause problems. The suggestion of
installing a temperature monitor is good. Removing a stick of RAM to
troubleshoot it is also good if you have multiple sticks.
There's a chance the kernel panic log will contain information to lead
you in the right direction IF it's some other problem, but not likely
if it's RAM, HD, or heat.
