[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 1176832, member: 18605"] Wow. Well welcome to the forum first. Ok, you certainly have tried all the things we would normally suggest here really, and still no luck, which is a real downer of course. Now, despite the fact that you get the HD appears to be ok message, it doesn't always mean that it is. However, I am wondering why you can't boot from the install discs at all. Does the install disc load ok? From reading back it would appear so. I only ask in case it could be a case of a failed disc drive. Next question. Do you have any additional RAM installed (that was added after you bought it)? Faulty RAM can cause all manner of issues. Ultimately I would say go for a clean install, which you mention, but if you can't boot from the discs this is going to be tough. [/QUOTE]
