[QUOTE="talleyrand, post: 205429, member: 12452"] I have a first gen iMac G-5. Over the last three months my hard drive kept corrupting. 1 HFS volume-unrepairable. After going round and round with my local Apple Service Center (Apple dis-service Center) I finally got a new drive. The computer has been going fine for about a week, then last night it crashed. While surfing on the web and watching Diggnation in a small window simultaneously it just crashed. Went to sleep, flicked the mouse and it woke up. Now every time I "stress" the iMac it goes into sleep mode. By stress I mean, scroll through pictures in iphoto quickly, start imovie, surf and do anyting else at the same time, boom the computer crashes. If I turn off the computer it will not restart. I have to wait several minutes. Like it needs to cool down. If this was a ATX case PC I would replace the power supply, it sounds like a bad power supply. This was happening at the beginning of my hard drive problems, I think flaky power issues may have nuked the old drive. Anyone have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
