IMac turns on, but when I turn it off, it wont turn back on

Hello! So recently I got my grandmothers old IMac and wanted to check out some photos (it’s an IMac g3) and so I turned it on then turned it off. Afterwards, I tried again, and it wouldn’t turn on. After a while it did work again, but the same thing happened afterwards. Any help is deeply appreciated! Thanks.

It’s obsolete and nearing end of life. Don’t turn off (and copy the photos and other stuff while it’s still alive).
