[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1303776, member: 46727"] It sounds like you may have a combination of things that are happening. First, there's a chance that the hard drive has died - that would explain the freezing and no response. Second, I wonder if your optical drive is working OK since you stated that you could not boot from the install DVD? Do you have access to another Mac in your home? If you do, try booting the iMac using [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661"]Target Disk Mode[/URL] from the other Mac. Both Macs will need to have access to Firewire in order to do this. [/QUOTE]
