I have had a few issues with my PM G4 since I got it, looking for suggestions moving forward.
It wouldn't boot 2 days after I received it. The drive was corrupted, but reformatted, and reinstalled everything, and it was fine after that.
A week later, actually Friday night, my machine turned itself on. That was a first for me, but I was sitting in my kitchen and is simply powered up. I knew that setting in OS 9 but I didn't think you could do that in X.
Saturday morning, the machine wouldn't stay on for more then 10 minutes, the computer would shut down but the light on the studio display would stay on.
Called Apple, the walked me through reseting the PMU, and had me zap the PRAM. That seemed to take care of things.
But when I was shutting down last night, the system crashed during the shutdown.
So I am a little concerned with the timing of everything, Hardware Test runs fine. I am just concerned about the gremlins. Any suggestions for other things to check or suggestions for working with Apple if these things keep popping up. Or do ya think I just got a lemon?
I'm running 10.2.6 with all the current updates.
Thanks
