I've had the power unit replaced as well as the logic board. The cost was over $1,300 (Apple got talked into covering $1,000 of it even though it's been out of warranty for 1 1/2 years. Trouble is, the replacement parts didn't fix the problem. It still goes to sleep with any more than one window open at a time. It does seem to run rather hot. I'm clueless, and my tech is too. Any ideas out there on what to do next? I too have a narcoleptic iMac G5 running on Leopard (although the problem existed when I ran on Tiger, too).

As long as i'm doing moderate web browsing its fine, any more and it sleeps. system keeps shutting off at around 84 degrees. no video encoding on this system. only way around it is to make your machine half as fast as it was when you bought it buy changing the performance in the power saving settings in system preferences hope that helps some one Got the same thing, Painful!!

Just dunno if its worth spending that kinda money on repairing it... Brian Yeah, Apple Care is a must! My PowerBook's HD broke down 3 months after the warranty ran out too! Before these 2 machines, I've never had a problem with a Mac even after 2 years (never kept a mac for longer than that). Kevin Hahahahaha... Mr. Microsoft... Moshe Yep, ran it a few times. Same results. Still switches to sleep mode. Maybe I should try a complete re-format and OS installation? TMK Nope, have to do so within the first year of purchasing the Mac. Gen Yeah, I remember reading about your ordeal on your blog. And you were rather peeved too cuz the Apple guys wouldn't give you a temporary loan machine. Hahahaha... I remember that. Definitely will get Apple Care for every future Mac I get from now, period!! Edward

I had a similar issue with my MBP but the test result was never consistent. Nonetheless, Apple ended up replacing the MLB under warranty. Have you ran the test more than once?
