I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but I do not know the exact specs of my iMac. I purchased it in February 2008 and it is the 24" version with the least amount of RAM.
I play World of Warcraft and recently the game began to have consistent crashes. I decided to reload Leopard to see if that may help the situation out. I did a complete wipe (and I assume a disk check was done with that) and install. I then installed World of Warcraft. That install went fine. Upon downloading the patch, I received an I/O error and I contacted Blizzard tech support. They suggested that I update the OS. I did that and now when the system tries to boot up I get the kernal panic that others have had issues with.
I cannot boot from the DVD and one USB port will not work and the other will recognize my mouse but not the keyboard.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Does it sound like a RAM, hard drive or motherboard issue?
Thanks
