[QUOTE="MacHeadCase, post: 645388"] It could be RAM going bad as well. Did you install any third-party RAM ? If so, remove them and see if that doesn't help. If not, I've read on occasion that factory-installed RAM could be defective too but it doesn't happen too many times though. And about the trying to reinstall OS X bit, did you try unplugging all unnecessary peripherals ? You mentioned your graphics tablet, I would unplug everything you don't need just in case it confuses the ailing system. [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547"][B]One beep[/B][/URL], according to Apple. Hope this helps. :) [/QUOTE]
