Sometimes my PowerBook doesnt start. When I turn the computer on, the sound plays, and the hard drive starts spinning, then nothing. I am able to start the computer by repeatedly using the RESTART button on the back of the computer. Can someone please tell me why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?

Knowing what PowerBook it is would be a good start...

From the 200MHz speed, I'm guessing a 3400.

Try resetting the Power Manager. Directions are on Apple's site.
