Tonight, I tried putting my G5 to Sleep Mode, but it hung around for about 30 seconds to actually go to sleep.. I took it out of sleep mode, and tried it again after fixing permissions. Same thing. What's going on? There are no programs open
Got a tip for us?

Disk First Aid - Meaning Disk Utility? I checked Permissions, and DSCK doesn't do anything? I looked in the background processes and saw nothing wrong

So what, if the problem is in the drives catalog checking permissions won't do squat.Pipian said:
Running Disk First Aid and fsck will check the drive for quite a few of these problems, although neither of them fix everything in one pass.
If there is a problem with the file system/catalog, you'd see some slowdown when you dump stuff to the HD -- and sleeping is dumping stuff to the HD.
Booting into "Safe Mode" is OS X's equivalent to booting with extensions off that we had under OS 9 (heck it even uses the same key to do it). So don't knock it til you try it.
If there is a problem with something you are running, it should help you point it out -- like a .kext file for some widget you may be running that's causing problems.
