[QUOTE="galchin, post: 1808876, member: 401372"] I ran the Apple Hardware Test (this is a Pre-2013 Mac). It found no issues. Agree that it is a hardware fault. What I'm attempting to do is determine what that hardware fault is during a normal boot. Remember the machine runs fine in Safe Boot. I have two memory sticks installed. I've removed each and tested individually. Neither cause the fault or show any errors during tests. This isnt a keyboard, mouse or external hard drive issue. The issue happens even when all peripherals are disconnected and only in Normal boot mode. What I need to find out is how I can progressively disable the startup of devices to determine what the hardware fault is. [/QUOTE]
