My G4 iMac 800 keeps blowing the mains (AC) fuse in the plug when I turn it on at the wall. I'm turning on everything simultaneously as the iMac and my 2 external LaCie firewire-connected drives (hard disc and CD-burner) are on the same multi-plug block. Should I be turning on the main power to these 2 external drives at a different time to the iMac's power - ie before or after it? Could this be the reason the iMac's fuse keeps blowing or might there be another reason I should investigate? I've upped the iMac's plug fuse from a 3 amp to 5 amp and now a 13 amp in the hope of making it more stable....did I do right?

Thanks.

Kev
