[G4] G4 GE startup problems.

[Al Poulin]

And the PRAM battery is fairly new with good voltage?  It becomes  
suspect if it is over 4 years old, or even sooner if you've not had  
the machine plugged in to power for lengthy periods of time.

Also, consider using a UPS with a feature that deals with brownouts.   
That eases the traumatic effects of power outages and weak voltage  
from the line.
