My iMac started acting up a while ago by freezing and having to be rebooted. There were no error msgs; it would just stay frozen until I did a hard-reboot. Then it progressed to white-screening and not booting at all. I thought one of my nieces may have inadvertently gotten a virus, while they were on a kid's website, so I decided to try a re-install. I was able to get both install CD's loaded but when it got to the "Set up your Mac..", where you select your country, it froze again. I had to do another hard-reboot and not it's sitting at the white screen. I've tried every keyboard combination I can find on the Internet and nothing gets a response. I can't even get it to boot into single-user or do the Apple hardware test. My best guess now is that it's a hardware problem (bad HDD or mem module), since it all started by random freezing. Does that seem correct, based on my description?
My desktop is sort of old...I think I got it around '07-'08 timeframe, so it's an Intel-based system. I would provide more specs but I can't it to boot!!
