Hi all:
My iMAC G5 seems to have this issue where it just shuts itself off for no apparent reason. Like some just pulled the power plug.
Any ideas?

I had this with my PC.
Turned out it was the Power Control Unit that needed replacing.

Yeah. Mine got worse and worse to the point where it would only stay on for a coupla minutes before shutting down.

Hmmm, if it is under warranty take it in! My guesses be (based on similar problem on PC):
1. Power supply issue or electrical problem
2. Overheating (is it tucked ina corner somewhere with no ventilation?)Good luck!

switch outlets first may just be some mice in the walls having a game with you

This happened twice to our machines in the office - bad power supply - they will most likely have to replace the logicboard because of it - back your stuff up asap and take it to the apple store - today.

This is happening a lot at our agency to iMacs and Towers. Issue is still unresolved...
