[QUOTE="Macosaurus, post: 1586927, member: 327316"] Thanks for your reply, Nick. I'm operating on a new premise now. After running extensive diagnostics, I am being told that there is a HDD error: "4HDD / 11 / 4000000: SATA ( 0,0 )". I've since removed the original HDD from the first slot and replaced it with a new blank 1 TB drive that had previously been partitioned into 2 equal halves, but which is blank otherwise. I then attempted to boot from the original OS X discs that shipped with the computer, but booting stops after the wheel spins for a few seconds and the computer seems to freeze. The fact that I have been able to run diagnostics and see the results makes me question my original assumption that the GPU failed. If you have any suggestions based on this new information, I'd love to hear them. Thanks again! Best, Steve [/QUOTE]
