[QUOTE="yourmatedave, post: 1148894, member: 181168"] Argh! I really hope its not the logic board :( Yeah first time it didn't need repair, it was all good, just wouldn't boot. so formatted then reinstalled leopard and all was working for about an hour. just before it crashed again i had some strange graphical things happen, the desktop background disappeared, and windows were "ghosting" when i moved or resized them, like when you win at solitaire on windows 95 and the cards flood the screen. heh if that makes any sense to anyone.... Then it just froze music continued playing. Turned it off again and back on and i was back to the grey screen. I'm a bit strapped for cash was really hoping it was just the HD as i could have spent £60 and fitted that myself no problem. Argh. I cant get this hardware test to run at all, could that be that im using an external DVD drive? [/QUOTE]
