[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1050926, member: 112842"] A little more information in your post might be helpful. (Your title is great, by the way... describes your problem well.) Have you physically moved it recently? ...plugged it into a different outlet? ....added an extension cord? Do you have frequent power surges? Are any other devices exhibiting similar symptoms? Then there hardware failure possibilities as well. It is an older machine. Has it had heavy usage? Was it doing this less frequently before? All in all, it doesn't sound good. But, the good news is, maybe it's time for a brand new Mac! :) [/QUOTE]
