Q: iMac G5 shuts itself off when put to sleep

Purchased my iMac 7 years ago.  Put it to sleep whenever I'm not using it; shut it off only when I'm away from home or we have thunderstorms in the area.  It shut itself off during the night last night; again 3x today.  I can turn it back on and it boots up easily enough, but it's unnerving.  Is this fixable, or is it time to buy a new machine?

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.9)
