I agree; this suggestion was not meant to make you run an "handicapped" Mac ;-) but to make absolutely sure the problem was about not enough power. Once you knew it was that (or not), you could think about something else.

Maybe something got "stuck" in the power mangement unit. Did you try to reset the PMU? ( Power Management Unit) See Apple's page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1939 (knock on wood, it might have something to do with the 9800 issue as well; worth a try) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
