Do you have connected anything to an USB-port (besides kb and mouse)??
I have a QS 800/2002, OS 10.4.8 and a self-powered USB-hub. When I power
down the Mac without de-powering the hub FIRST, the Mac will restart but
without video-problems. (Disconnecting the hub is not necessary.)
OTOH, a friend has a QS 800DP/2001, 10.4.8 and the same hub as I have.
Without de-powering the hub first, HIS Mac will act like yours!!
Just a possibility.
