MirrorG4 and OS 10.4.5 - Sleep freeze

[addicted2macs]

Greetings all,

I've searched the forums and found a few similar items, but nothing that really tagged my particular issue.

I have 3 separate G4 Mirror Door Macs, all with similar specs, and I'm having the same problem on all of them.

Problem: After installing a clean version of OS 10.4 on the machine, running updates to get all default software current, each and every machine locks up after it goes to sleep using the default Energy Saver settings. I have this problem on each of the three G4's, but have had no problems on any other piece of hardware (Quicksilver G4, G5 Dual Proc, Imac G5 or eMac G3).

The Lockup is unrecoverable--I have to power it down by holding the power button.

Solution: I have to turn off sleeping, then the machines are all stable as can be expected.

Environment: All machines are using the same keyboard (Apple Standard), mouse (Logitech optical), Display (Dell UltraSharp 19" Flat Panel). No other peripherals are connected.

This isn't a major issue, but I'd like to be able to have my machines slumber when not in use.

Any wonderful ideas?

Thanks in advance.

See what happens if you put one of them to sleep using a standard Apple mouse instead of the Logitech. There's a slight chance that that's the culprit.
