G5 2mhz tower
Turning ON the Mac after 30 minutes is OK
but if the computer is OFF for 4 hours or more
then the Mac frooze at startup: no screen, no USB
(the mouse don't light ON). I must reset (holding down
the front button 5 secondes) to boot correctly.

However if the G5 is not only turn OFF but the AC cable unplug
the Mac boot perfectly.

A similar problem happen when the computer go to sleep for more
then 30 minutes: the mac frooze, no screen, no mouse.

Any suggestion will be appreciate.

Yep.  I was thinking that or PRAM/PMU needs to be reset.

Maybe it's not dead *yet*, but is low enough in voltage to cause
malfunctions - quite possible.  Anyhow...

Did you reset PRAM?

Did you reset the PMU?
