| quicksilver sleep/wake problem hi i have a quicksilver, that after it went to sleep, often doesn't wake-up like it should anymore. you can here the harddisk starting and stopping over and over again. the video-card seems to start as screen turns on and shows desktop, but there's no mouse. sometimes after a minute or so it does wake-up fully, but that sounds the harddisk makes, makes me worry. it's not a good sound. i'm wondering what causes this problem. it's a qs 733, 40gb hd, 384mb ram, with a completely fresh installed system 10.3.4 i tried resetting the pram, doesn't make any difference anyone has the same experience? gr arri  |

| Have you tired running Disk Utility to repair the drive? You will need to use the OS CD to start up the computer, then at the install screen, do not click on install - but go to the Installer menu and select Disk utility.

| 32GB limit... yes, i did try that.. didn't work. BUT i discovered that i had accidentally set the jumpers on the back of the drive to have a 32GB limit. undoing this made the drive respond much better, although it still reacts strange sometimes. the problem i have now, is that i can't get the xtra 10 GB back.. formatting the drive doesn't help anyone any idea how to recover the drive? arri |

| As to your sleep problem. I have a similar issue with my Dual 1GHZ G4 MDD. I'm not positive as to what exactly causes the problem. Problems like this tend to be hardware related. It could be any of the following on my system: Logitech 3-button Mouse Belkin 4 port USB 2.0 card Belking Bluetooth adapter 200GB Seagate Hard Drive iSight iPod APC PowerManagement Backup However, after some testing I believe it is more likely the USB 2.0 card or my bluetooth adapter, or some combination there of. Anyone else have similar problems with sleep? What hardware additions have you made?
