I'm having problems getting my Dual 2.0 G5 to wake from sleep. I end up having to cold boot it.

Has anyone else had this problem?

If it wakes from sleep the first time, but no more after that, then it is a RAM problem.

Witnessed this on a G5 1.6Ghz.

Thanks. It's the RAM that came in the system from Apple. I guess I'll open a support call with them.
