Hey all. For a new 17" imac. Been a happy camper.
This morning, did a lot of audio work. Quit most of the apps, and put the mac to sleep. all is well.
Came home. screen is dark. 'sleep light' isn't pulsing, and the CPU fan is buzzing like a chain saw. Couldn't wake up the computer at all, had to power-button restart. Scanned all the logs, and there was no log entry at all between the sleep and the hard restart. Sample log segment below.
thoughts?

That's the sleep panic that seems to be common in recent Macs. Look for a /Library/Logs/panic.log file.

Well, I'll believe 'sleep panic' but no panic.log on the HD...

If you are running OS 10.3.8, there are pages of discussion of this problem in a macfixit.com report. However, you can access the macfixit.com reports only if you are a member (very worthwhile, in my opinion).
You might want to search the macfixit.com forums on this topic.
