System: G4 400 AGP with MacOS X 10.3.7
I've noticed that I have trouble awakening from sleep.
It does one of the three things:
1) wakes up but the clock in the menu bar is frozen
(the optional clock in the separate window works)
2) the desktop appears but the mouse/keyboard is frozen
3) the desktop appears briefly then flashes to gray.
Is this a software problem, or power supply or pram battery?
Thanks

I'm thinking it might be software or software / firmware, because I'm seeing lot of reports of this kind of thing on a lot of different machines. m.

Just for the record, my 700 Mhz eMac (thats had every sys update since it was new), has never had any sleep/wake issues of any description.
I use sleep all the time too... only shutting down once a week, unless something out of the ordinary comes up.
However, I too have heard some people have problems with it.

I have a G4/233 that also will not wake from sleep no matter what I try.
