Ron, I double checked after reading your note and it is NOT checked.

I use the Apple 15 inch LCD display and I really don't think it is the
problem.

Ron, you are on the right track.  If I remove the USB Compact Flash Card
reader the G4 shuts down and stayed down last night.

The problem may have something to do with USB ports. I have too much crap
attached.  I had to add a Belkin 5 port USB/PCI card and use the ports for

- HP Photosmart printer
- A USB/Serial adapter  (for interfacing a Terminal Node Controller (TNC)
- An iMic (to send RTTY and PSK signals to a Kenwood TS-570 Ham Radio)
- A Flash card reader or Floppy Drive

The two primary G4 ports:
- Apple LCD Display
- MS Wireless Mouse

Like I said too much crap hanging on USB ports.
