With such large changes to hardware it's always a good idea to reset  
the SMU and Safe Boot to reestablish the system cache files for the  
new hardware.


I don't understand some of your description of the update. For example  
"a new driver" probably means you got a new hard drive? And "pci card"  
is a generic term, the specific card would be nice to know? Also,  
AFAIK no G5 came with HDMI video cards, so you shouldn't have an HDMI  
port unless this was part of the upgrade?


The G5's vary a lot in terms of hardware specifications, so knowing  
the exact model would help? For now, try resetting the SMU  and then Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup, then  
restart again normally. Should be fine I think?
