I have a G4 Quicksilver that has an intermittent problem. It crashes after it has gone to sleep, but never when im around.
If it goes to sleep and check on it every 15-30min later...fine - no problem.
But if i leave it and say come back an hour later i find the machine is switched off and upon restarting it has reset its date to 1970.
Steps i have taken:
I first tried resetting the PRAM Battery (P-R-ALT-APPLE)
Changed the PRAM battery
Reset the Motherboard after unpluggin the power cable
The machine had all 3 memory slots used so i used just one memory at a time - same problem!!
I removed the IDE Hard Drive and fitted another to eliminate software from hardware problem - again no change.
Am I experiencing a Power Supply or Motherboard fault??
Please help...i am at my wits!!!
Kind regards and thanks in advance
