If you have an after market pci card in it such as a scsi card you will have that problem. Look in Apple System Profiler to find out. The low power sleep mode is supposed to disable (I believe) with such a card in it. On mine this did not happen all the time & i had the same problem u do. I just never put it to sleep.{: On the other hand i have no problem w/ sleep in 10.2.3 on this same machine with the card still in. Tom
