Our iMac G3 restarts at random times during the day. Until just recently, it was plugged into an outlet that wasn't holding the plugs very well... if the plugs were bumped, anything plugged into the outlet would lose power. I finally replaced the outlet, but I'm afraid the damage may have been done. Did we glitch up the iMac's power supply? If it is, how much would it cost to replace, and if not, what can I do to stop the computer from restarting?
The odd thing is that we also have a PC plugged into the same power strip. The iMac was affected, but the PC wasn't. While we were trying to figure out what was causing the problem, I was going through system preferences. I can't remember which screen I was on, but I had inadvertantly clicked on a button labeled "Reset to Default". Shortly afterward, the iMac lost all the bookmarks on the Safari browser, the Address Book lost its contacts and so did the iChat. Would Rest to Default have done all this. And is there a way to restore the lists? I don't think the data is gone, because the hard drive didn't have any significant amount of space freed up. Please help us with this.
