[QUOTE="jasongoldworthy, post: 1797148, member: 395464"] I believe he said he ran linux from a USB stick but I may be wrong he did say that he got it to install once and then it wouldn't go any further after which in my opinion implies a bad GPU as its then warm and won't boot no longer. not all GPU issues show artefacts on the screen I have a late 2009 iMac and it had a bad GPU but wouldn't boot and no artefacts occurred so I baked it in the oven and it solved all the problems. but I did replace it a few days later with one from another machine that had a totally damaged case. and now its back working like a champ.
