[QUOTE="beck76, post: 471651, member: 37027"] Can anybody help me out? I was using Safari and Mail yesterday (the only programs I had open). I went away for a couple of hours and came back to shut down and my system had crashed - blank light blue screen. I forced shutdown and thought no more of it until I tried to start up today. I keep getting either the blue startup screen with the apple on and the spinning wheel - but it hangs and goes nowhere, or I get the white text on a black background saying: Aug 27 11:31:38 init: fatal signal: Segmentation fault Sometimes the white text then goes onto say: Proceeding back via exception chain: Exception state (sv=0x22B66000) ...lots of numbers...Kernel version: Darwin kernel version 7.9.0; Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root: xnu/xnu - 517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC No debugger configured - dumping debug information MSR=00001030 Latest stack backtrace for cpu 0: Backtrace: ...lots of numbers... Proceeding back via exception chain: Exception state (sv=0x22B66000) ...lots of numbers...Kernel version: Darwin kernel version 7.9.0; Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root: xnu/xnu - 517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC panic: we are hanging here... The only cd I can get it to boot up from is the apple hardware test cd - which I ran both the quick test and the extended test on and it found no problems. It refuses to boot up from my system software CD - the same errors happen. I've tried starting up in safe mode (shift), I've tried resetting the PRAM (apple, option, P + R), I've tried resetting the SMU / PMU (both by disconnecting the power cable for 2 minutes and by pressing the Reset PMU button on the logic board). I've tried to rebuild the desk top (apple, option, shift = delete) and I've also tried to set the startup disk by pressing X on start up - same error messages occur. Does anybody have any other ideas? I keep reading articles that tell me to do an archive + install from my system CD - but I can't boot up from it! - (Nor can I boot up from my Norton disk). Any help would be much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
