[QUOTE="MacDude121, post: 1148899, member: 173432"] What you described only supports the Logic Board theory. :\ A bad hard drive usually results in failure to boot, or things slow to a crawl (Ex: Ten minutes to open safari, etc.) An external DVD drive shouldn't really cause any problems, as I'm pretty sure Intel macs can boot off of USB. But why are you using an external in the first place? Is your drive broken? :| [/QUOTE]
