Resolved Quicksilver keeps starting by itself


i came here because i've been lurking years, , know how expert guys @ powerpcs.

have 2002 quicksilver, 933 processor, stock except ram upgraded when got dv warehouse several years ago. keep turned off unless i'm using it, lately has taken starting randomly. morning asleep, woke , went right sleep on , over. barely had time shutdown command, wouldn't shut down, unplugged it.

tried resetting pram previously, i've never had set restart after power outages, not connected network. no new hardware in years, no new software except tenfourfox 2 years ago. it's had same modem long i've had it, nothing new connected several years. it's working far after safe boot. possessed workhorse?
 

do regular system maintenance? hard drive full or close it? issues hard drive lately?

ask because our systems getting older , if still have stock hard drive it's possible either drive corruption or failure may starting - although that's first thing leaps mind. well, second. see below.

know said mac not on network, wouldn't accident have file sharing on you?

earlier year had file sharing set , of drive names changed. caused mac wake screen until figured out. however, wasn't rebooting itself.
