Hi

My Power Mac G4 once it is on it wont shut down. When you click shutdown, it shutsdown and reboots straight away. So I leave my finger on the power button to turn it off bu then the MAC doesnt start unless I i plug the power cord wait a bit and then replug it again.

I am going mad, anyone out there knows why this is happening?? It would make y life a lot easier.

Thank you on advance,
