G5 iMac likes to sleep

   Dear All

   This one just in.....

   "We have a problem with a G5 iMac, the mac keeps turning itself off (as if there was a power cut), we have checked connections and changed the power cable but it still keeps doing it every now and then."

   On-board power supply transformers failing?

   Or tsetse fly infestation locally?

   Your thoughts?

   TIA
