[G4] Broken sleep.

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

Pat,

Do you have any PCI Cards installed recently ?

When was the last time sleep worked correctly?

Also faulty usb devices ,hubs, mice, printers,  etc might cause you  
system to wake from sleep. Try disconnect all the usb stuff and then  
pressing the power button ( for one second ) on the front of you G4  
to put it to sleep and see if it can stay in sleep. If it can stay in  
sleep mode with no usb devices connected, then try waking it up by  
pushing the power button again. If it wakes up from sleeps now then  
there is a suspect usb device causing the problem.  Try connecting  
each usb device you have one at a time and doing this little sleep  
test after each device added. When and if it breaks the sleep stops  
sleeping properly, then the last device you connected is most likely  
the one at fault.

Give that a shot and let us know how that works...
