[QUOTE="MAC-simus, post: 41669, member: 2338"] I had similar problem on my eMac. could be hard drive or damaged OS related. here is what I did: 1. get an external HD with os X on it. 2. restart and use external drive (iPod can work as well if you hav OS on it) as startup disk. 3. if it works and mac behaves as normal, then its a harddrive problem. 4. back up all your data on extenal HD. 5. reformat the disk with disk utility. 6. verify and repare the hard dirve. 7. reinstall os and apps. its good if you run apple hardware test CD before you do all that. just to check that everything else is fine.
