Hi all
My PB G4 1.33 (10.4.8) has been giving me fine service but has come up with an annoying habit of shutting off surprisingly when I'm carrying it from place to place. Not every time, but at least 10 times in the last month or 2. When I do a ctrl/appl/restart it usually starts up again, not always right away. I get the message "OsX has unexpectedly shut down... " occasionally I get a screen in multiple languges telling me I need to restart my computer (again).
Any ideas - I thought it might be the sudden motion sensor but it turns out I don't have one of those (started in the 1.5 GhZ)
Oh - it has done it more when I'm carrying it open and running (the machine, not me) but also when it's asleep. I'm not bouncing it around, just gently carrying it from room to room.
Never does this when it's sitting happy and still. Which should probably tell me something, but still...
Thanks!
John
