I have a G5 which seems to go to sleep vary intermittently and can not figure out why. The first example is when I run my back ups I *MUST* move the cursor every 30 minutes or so or else the backup will stop. Of course the minute I move the mouse it starts back up again. There are several programs running at the time like BOINC and a weather program that does a net inquiry every 10 minutes or so. At night I leave my system running all the time and getting mail every 10 minutes and a news reader that runs every 60 minutes the going to sleep has only occurred once in the 2 years I have been doing this. The sleep time is set for *NEVER* FWIW I am running 10.4.11 and have 4GB of RAM The external drives are all FW 2.7Gh dual Any ideas? Ed
