wacky imac

[M.G. Gallagher]

An old problem has returned. I recently bought a used rev B. The 
owner had added ram and upgraded to 9.1. I upgraded it to 9.2.4. 
Right after I bought it, and now again the screen began to go to 
sleep by itself.  If I use the restart menu command, it sounds like 
it's restarting, but the button light screen stays green, and the 
screen stays dark. The push-pin force restart button(hole) doesn't 
restart the computer. Sometimes when I restart it the green light 
doesn't come on (or turn orange first), and I hear the fan, but no 
screen. The only way I can use my computer is to shut down, cut 
power, then start it and it works. I've zapped the pram, rebuilt the 
desktop, tried extensions off, Mac all extensions on, Disk First Aid, 
etc. I don't own any disk repair utilities. This all cleared up for a 
while, thought I don't know why, but has returned to haunt me.

I haven't done a clean reinstall as I don't have the disk, but can 
probably get it from the previous owner. Any ideas out there? Thanks.
