Mac Forum / General / Hardware / September 2006

Remember a few days ago I posted about new Mini with Tiger 'freezing' so
that the mouse would move but no click would be hear nor any key-press
response?

Last night Mail was the only application running (all night).

Happened again. I came down this morning, moved mouse to wake up
monitor... which woke up but nothing worked. I clicked on Mail and a few
other things. Nada!

This time I pressed he power-button for half a second. Things I had
PREVIOUSLY CLICKED on came up for a few seconds and screen went black. I
waited for 15 or so seconds and the monitor light just blinked. I
pressed the button on back again for a half sec. and in a few seconds up
came the screen (with all the apps I had clicked) and all is well.

I have this machine set for CPU to never sleep, for monitor to sleep
after about an hour, for screen-saver after 15 minutes, and for he hard
disk to sleep if possible. There is some kind of power-management issue
going on here, right?

Anyone have any idea what might be happening? Is the HD not waking up?
Second time this happened and this time the machine had only been
running a bit longer than 24 hours... via uptime command:
 7:52  up 1 day,  7:39, 2 users, load averages: 0.05 0.05 0.00

What should I try next. Un-checking the hard-disk sleep? Or never
letting the monitor sleep?

What's goin' on?
