[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1510686, member: 46727"] I've had a brand new hard drive right out of the box fail. Known as "dead on arrival". Try booting in Safe Mode to see if you can run that way. Press and hold your shift key as soon as you hear the "Bong" sound and keep holding it until the Apple appears and it boots. Safe mode disables all third party drivers, start up apps, and the system sound. If it runs OK in safe mode that should eliminate hardware failure. [/QUOTE]
