I own a G4 MDD w/ dual 1.25 ghz and 1 Gb ram running OSX Tiger v. 10.4.2.
In the past I have noticed that If i shut it off and head to work, 7 or 8 times out of ten I come home and it is on! I recently went on vacation and turned off and unplugged the power strip that is plugged into so my apartment wasn't sweltering when I returned. (the G4 MDD also doubles as a space heater!) Heres the thing that made me finally reach out for help, when I plugged in and turned on the power strip, my mac immediately turned on!! Also, I have been having some other run of the mill problems like full on unresponsive system, pinwheel showing crashes / freezes while using safari, pro-tools le, and quicktime. This maybe two seperate problems, Im thinking the crashes maybe a bad ram stick, but the mysterious power on seems like a serious hardware issue. Anybody have any suggestions for a skeptical recent mac convert???????
