Q: My Power Mac G5 has been down for a month. I finally got it to boot up and noticed the date had changed to 1969. Now the screen has fine horizontal line on it and is no longer sharp. What should I do?

My Power Mac G5 shut down last month. It would reboot but stay on for a very short time then shut down. Today, I finally got it to stay on for more than 20 seconds and I noticed the year in the date line was1969. I hadn't changed to date prior to the Mac shutting down. I changed the date to the current day, date and year. I refuse to turn it off for fear it will not reboot again. I've also noticed the screen is grainy and has fine horizontal line on it. What could be going wrong with my Power Mac G5?Anyone out there with answers?

PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
