[G4] Broken sleep.

[Daniel Brieck Jr.]

Also another thing that comes to mind is power stability in your area?

My other G4 500 AGP system would wake from sleep from electrical  
current interference. For example switching on a 20" box fan that was  
plugged into the same circuit as the G4 would sometimes cause it to  
wake from sleep.
