It could possibly be the PAV board, but that glass breaking sound usually would indicate to me that the RAM could be faulty as well. Does that sound happen when the power button is pressed? If so, then you might want to try a new set of RAM.
When a PAV board goes bad, typically the first thing you'll notice is a zapping sound and also the light around the front power button will go amber. In some cases, when you press the power button, it will seem as though the iMac is not getting enough power to even run. So it will immediately shut down and reset itself to the start position.
Which iMac G3 is this model? Does it have a tray-loading CD-ROM or is it a slot-loading type?
