Just a couple of things:
It's probably not a good idea to sleep it before it's fully loaded, just wait a
few seconds for everything to load, and then put it to sleep if you're not
going to use it.
Like others have said, that just happens with some HD's in those iMacs. My
little brother had an iMac with this problem, and we just swapped out HD's and
it worked fine. If you have any extra IDE HD's around, you can try one of those
& see if the problem goes away.
