[G4] LED flashing

I just started trying out the power management features in Panther. I
used to shut my Gigabit G4/400 down at night when I was done with it.
Now, I have it set up so the monitor shuts off after 20 minutes and the
system goes to sleep after 3 hours. I noticed when it is sleeping, the
light on the front of the case gets brighter, then dimmer. Is that
normal? I had some problems recently with it just shutting off with
out warning. I pulled the AGP Radeon 8500 that I just installed and
replaced it with my old PCI Radeon 7000. It has been running for about
5 or six days continuously like that. That kinda makes me think the
shutting off problem was with the 8500 card, but the flashing LED has
me a bit concerned that it could be something else.
Also, I was wondering how much continuous uptime you should expect
from a system like this. I just had to reboot my system after running
non stop for 5 or 6 days because some apps. started to crash. The main
one that crashed was Safari. Should I reboot a couple times a week, or
could there be a bug in the system causing things to crash like that?
Thanks--
Kevin
