I've been experiencing a new problem lately-my power mac doesn't want to restart from sleep, not when it's gone there due to inactivity nor when I set it to sleep myself. At least not right away. It seems that if I come back to it 20-30 minutes later it's just fine.
During the time that it's in sleep that I can't wake it from, the tower light acts as if it's sleeping but there is whatsoever no responce from anything that I do. When I can get the computer back on, the fans aren't loud or anything but this obviously isn't good. I couldn't even turn it off the other night. But I did end up cleaning out and resetting the SMU and when I plugged it back in, everything seemed fine.
Tonight I had the same issue after putting it to sleep, but waited 20 minutes and it came back on like normal. Any ideas what's going on? I'd appreciate if anyone had any ideas or help to offer. Thanks.
specs are:
Dual 2.3 GHz PowerPC G5
4 GB DDR SDRAM
Added some additional ram after purchasing in early 2008, but nothing else. Had a couple kernal panics awhile ago but generally a pretty good machine!
