[QUOTE="McTosh, post: 1392839, member: 247560"] Thanks for the reply CHSCAG You've kicked my brain out of sleep mode :-) Although being unfamiliar with the characteristics of these early machines & MacBooks in general (I've just made the PC to Mac switch ...yeah!) I shouldn't have to look 'too' far if these boards are similar architecture in nature to the Iphone & Ipod of which I do have experience with. The fan does kick-in but a little too often whilst not working the CPU too hard which tells me the board is limping. Memory, if im not mistaken tends to be more frequent and in your face when failing (I do have some spare 667 sticks kicking around which I can try though which will narrow things down further) & no loud/erratic behavior from the hard drive along with shut down problems existing pre-boot, should rule out disk problems. If there's anyone else who has suffered these problems who can confirm a faulty board & save me from the hassle of stripping the thing down I would be deeply grateful. Thanks [/QUOTE]
