My 17” iMac G5 started randomly turning off recently. As you can guess this was quite frustrating so I sought help and found that resetting the SMU resolved the problem.

As you may have guessed though the problem has since returned and resetting the SMU now has no effect.

If anyone has any information on this problem I would love to hear it.

Here is the console log after the incident:
