[QUOTE="petef55, post: 1748932, member: 389434"] Thanks for the input guys. I have now had the imac diagnosed and the conclusion is a faulty graphics card and have been quoted £280 (I'm in the UK) to fix. Hard drive is good which is the main thing. I had no idea it would fail to boot with this problem but managed to get further with the external drive with the strange screen graphics. This is a common problem I gather and usually an issue with the solder joints on the GPU. Could be a scrapper unfortunately as the cost of repair outweighs its value unless I try the You tube "oven bake trick" Anyone heard of this or done actually had success with this? [/QUOTE]
