[QUOTE="frisbeefodder, post: 645423, member: 53507"] Thanks yes - everything unplugged (apart from a usb mouse!). I had a similar problem about a year ago... but the hard drive was making clicking (i.e. obviously dead) sounds.. I replaced it and all was fine. However, never thought RAM Could be an issue - I had some third part ram installed about 2-3 years ago... I'll remove it and see what happens when I get some time later. As my time is limited (as I'm desperately trying to get work done on a very slow backup machine) I'm thinking of just trying a replacement drive if it's not the RAM. It's SATA drive I know that part, but does anyone know the specs for a drive for this model? The pre-Intel (pre-isight) G5 iMac. The first G5 iMac. [/QUOTE]
