Computer crashing while in Sleep mode... how? Why??

Hello, I have a problematic computer, one of the old 2002 MDD "wind tunnel" G4s that's been giving me trouble, all the more so since I updated to Tiger (probably in haste, I'm thinking of downgrading back to Panther since I didn't get quite so many crashes then, until I upgrade to a better/newer computer w/ Leopard). Yes, this thing crashes all the time, likely due to the insufficient fan that it came with that's causing it to overheat (used to just freeze until I installed Temperature Monitor to keep it in Nap mode, now I get the usual Kernal Panics, the computer NOT going to sleep/waking back up when I try putting it to sleep, etc).

However, a NEW crash I just noticed--it's happened twice so far--that I'll put it to sleep, and for whatever reason, the computer will be OFF when I return... somehow, something happened while in sleep mode causing it to crash & shutdown. When I restart it, the internal clock has reset (which is unusual). I copied one of the crash-logs below, if anyone can read over it and interpret any ideas of HOW/why it's crashing it SLEEP mode(!!!), I'd certainly appreciate it.


+(And yes, while I appreciate any suggestions about downloading/trying Rember and all of that, I don't know if it'll make any difference at this point, I know this computer *****, I absolutely hate it, I'd kind of just like to figure out WHERE these Sleep crashes are now coming from. Really, the RAM I have seems/seemed to be efficient enough to run Tiger--it certainly did for Panther--I think I just had the misfortune of inheriting a poorly-designed model in the first place from a family member who missed their own opportunity to take advantage of the fan/power replacement plan offered by Apple. Right now, about the only solution I can foresee to making my day-to-day use of this computer more productive--or giving me satisfaction--is again either downgrading to Panther, or tossing the offending POS out the window.)+
