[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1257852, member: 46727"] It sounds like drive corruption problem rather than something wrong with the hardware. That is not to say it could also be a hardware problem. When you powered off the machine it may have caused corruption to the hard drive and that's preventing you from booting in normal mode. Since you can boot in safe mode, I suspect that's the problem. Do you have the original install media that came with the machine when it was new? Did your friend include those disks when he sold you the G5? If you have the disk, boot with it and use Disk Utility to do a verify and repair of the hard drive. [/QUOTE]
