[QUOTE="DB5L, post: 1169766, member: 186855"] I called Apple Care, explained the issue. The first advisor (I spoke with two of them) guided me thru trying to boot from my full installation DVD (Snow Leopard) to no vail. I had already tried it and the result was the same, a screen displaying the following message in several different languages: [I]"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again."[/I] Reading this message to him, he said, "oh, I think I know what it is --you have a HARDWARE problem that can be RAM or HDD". Doing a Google search for the message I got I really found other reports that point to a hardware issue, so it may be a good a idea to take the mac back to the store to be checked. [/QUOTE]
