Waking up Panther

[ysbryd]

Hi,
I use a G4 733 using OS X 10.3.2, .
Everything is more or less o.k., except if it goes to sleep, when it wakes up I get a greyish screen with a banner in it. The Banner says to shutdown the Mac, and start the Mac up afresh, that's about it, :-(.
Any help would be appreciated,
thanks

um... do you have any programs that are related to that? because if that is exactly what it says... it doesnt sound like apple...

At first I thought it was Alarm Clock Pro, which was set to wake the Mac up, so I stopped using it.
I started up the Mac, made sure no applications were running, pressed the on button to put it to sleep, gave it 30 seconds moved the mouse, yep you got it, grey screen, banner, etc. etc.

I think i have a simialr issue. have a duel 1 ghz G4, and am running os 10.3.2. When i put my computer to sleep after extended uptime (usually 4 hours +) the sysem crashes after bringin it out of sleep. Upon waking the system crashes. I get a mesage in ta dialog box withte power button symbol stating that i need to restart my machine. This problem has persisted though the various apple updates in jaguar and panther.Through the grapevine i herd that it might be a power management problem. I have tried repairing my disk permissions, and updating my frimware to v. 4.4.8f2.
Can anyone help?

After much toying with my macine i have Isolated the problem as slightly incomaptible ram. The stick I have is a 512 MB 333B PC-2600 Infineon card.
Once removed the sleep issue went away. Also after installing a 512 stick of Crutial ram it worked flawlessly.

I had the same problem with my G4. For some reason removing and reinstalling my RAM cards seemed to fix the problem.
A Mac technician suggested unplugging any extra devices on my computer one at a time and testing to see if the problem still persisted. I did that and it did, so the last resort was to remove the RAM. Once I did that the problem went away and strangely when I reinstalled them the problem never came back. I did this about a month ago and haven't had any problems waking it up from sleep since. Hope this helps!
