[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1285246, member: 46727"] Do you have any other hardware attached to the machine? Printers, scanners, additional monitor, and so forth? If you do, remove them. Also, if you have a local network, remove the machine from the network temporarily. If you have any applications that are starting up after the system boots, try removing them. Besides bad hardware, you could also have a corrupt plist file somewhere that's killing the Finder. Strange though that it even occurred when booting to Safe mode. Think back and try to remember if you've recently installed any applications or extensions. [/QUOTE]
