[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1601208, member: 56379"] Ok…thanks for the info.:) I guess the big question is…was the computer sitting in the garage in the box for a reason. Such as…was it not working when it was put there? Which of course explains why it's not working correctly now. When a Mac first starts up (with a monitor attached): - the computer should go "bonggg" when the power button is pressed - the display should light up - and even if the computer has a dead hard drive in it or no hard drive…the display should stay lit up…and a folder with a flashing "?" would appear. If the computer is shutting down shortly after the power button is pressed…this is not a good start. - Nick [/QUOTE]
