On my MDD G4's one of the early symptoms of the failing power supply
was that the computer would just unexpectedly shut down.

Mac: G4 Quicksilver (800 MHz)
1.5 GB SDRAM
3 HD, 1 CD-ROM
USB Ports have 5 USB sticks, a Memory Card and my Olmpus Digital
Camera plugged into them (see below for detail) plus the KB
Back of the Mac has a port which has 1 card plus the Olypus. Also
has a cord to a non-Powered Hub. This has a Powered Hub plugged
into it. (I need a 5V cord to power this thing and cannot find one)
Powered Hub has 2 USB Sticks plugged into it,
KP has the Memory Card and my Logitech USB Mouse
PROBLEM: First off, this NEVER happens when I use the machine
When I am away it randomly shuts down.
It is NOT set to sleep under Energy Saver
Under System Preferences I see nothing about shutting down
Now, I blew out (with me providing the air) what little dust was
inside (I will get a new can of air today) and under the tower.
What else can I do? I have not had this problem until recently
(never with the Smurf or previous machines, some of which had many
more HDs hooked up (externally but same power strip)
