If the clock reset itself, it's very likely the Pram battery is gone. This shouldn't make the Mac shut down, thou... IMHO. I used G3, G4 (not MDD), G5, a G4 Powerbook, with a dead battery eventually, and they all worked fine (save for the clock thing). Most likely thing, outside the Mac, could be a power shortage. Maybe so short you didn't notice lights flickering or the like, but long enough to make the computer switch off. Unless you have a working UPS, of course. Inside the Mac, the only thing I can think of, is a faulty power supply. Or, the power cable isn't properly seated (when people clean around computers, they often pull cables and cords...). -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
