[QUOTE="kahlil88, post: 1483113, member: 47208"] Just inherited an old [URL="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook_pro_2.16_17.html"]MacBook Pro A1151 2.16GHz[/URL] that I was hoping to fix up and use for Final Cut. The power button gets jammed and caused it to get stuck in a reboot loop once, put a few pieces of electrical tape on it to provide support and prevent shorting so it hasn't been a problem. Anyway, the computer hard freezes shortly after booting the operating system. Sometimes it reboots after hard freezing but not always. Booted a Leopard disc once and had it run until I opened Disk Utility, then hard froze. My first instinct is to run TechTool and test the RAM, but it restarts before I can even get a GUI.
