iMac 24" late 2008 on El Capitan - Random Sleep Problem

Hi, I have been tracing the random sleep problem of my iMac. All the usual bulls*t solutions … reset PRAM et al did not do a thing. Even cleared up my HD, wiped, re installed everything, permissions repair, you name it.

One suspicion is a defect temp sensor when I replaced the HD ages ago. But the prob did not appear until much later. (Temp monitoring App in place)

Other suspicion … old Battery inside?

So far I ran into this: Shutdown cause should be stated in Protocol system.log

https://apple.stackexchange.com/question...

So I found 2 lines of sleep cause

dsChkErr = 5, /*check trap error*/

and

needClearScrapErr = -100 /* == noScrapErr*/

This is where Im stuck, running into programming lingo I cant understand. Anyone know how to fix this?
