iMac G5 Sleep Problems
This problem has just started happening in the past couple of weeks.
I always had used sleep mode on my iMac.
Now this is what happens when I put the account into sleep mode.
It goes to sleep, and the blinking sleep light works for about 1 minute. Then the light stops and the computer appears to fall out of sleep, into a quasi-shutdown mode. I can no longer wake the computer at this point.
Then the fan starts running, really, really fast and does not stop.
The only way to "fix" this is to force shutdown the system by holding my power button. Afterwards the computer starts up like always with no problems at all.
But the sleep problem remains.
Does anyone know what is going on here and how to fix this? I am still under my AppleCare warranty that does house calls (if I read it right 🙂 ). The first digits of my serial # is W8441.
I do not have anything new on the computer, last upgrade done was to add a Gig of memory about 5 months ago.
