[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1148954, member: 46727"] Let's do this test... Remove the hard drive from the machine. Make sure you follow the instructions given at [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] to remove the drive as it's a fairly involved task. You'll need several suction cups and a set of torx drivers. After removing the drive, boot the machine with your Leopard disk. You can if you wish, run the hardware test with the drive removed. The reason for removing the drive is to ascertain if the logic board is the culprit or not. I'm thinking you have a flaky hard drive, but I could be wrong. Post back results. [/QUOTE]
