[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1313032, member: 24160"] We're going to keep our fingers crossed it's not an onboard hardware failure. Try 'em one at a time in this order. 1. Disconnect all external peripherals you have attached - printer, drives, etc. 2. Try starting the machine up in [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455"]Safe Mode[/URL]. 3. Boot up with your OS X disc - When you see the menu bar, head for Utilities - Disk Utility and run both a Permissions Repair and Repair Drive. What version of OS X do you have? What software has recently been installed? How old is your Mac and is it still covered by Applecare? (Actually, I'd do that 3rd one even if you get it up and running before that.) [/QUOTE]
