hi,
this is my first post, have a question bout my G4.
was working fine the other day and then froze up and died. will power up and battery still charges, but the OS wont load. when i start the computer it will go to the white screen with the apple and the loading circle thingy will just keep turning. if i let it sit like this it will every ten minutes or so shut down and come back on doing the same thing.
here is a pic of screen it will get stuck on
im running 10.5.7. the HD has died twice in the past and been replaced each time, but when that has happened before ive gotten the little folder with a sad face or question mark on it.
any ideas? is this a hardware or a software problem? dont wanna buy another HD until im sure thats the problem this time.
thanks for any help
