[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1802700, member: 56379"] I think you may have forgotten to share one critical piece of info with us...that you're able to use the computer for short periods of time...otherwise you wouldn't be able to run Disk Utility & Mem Test.:) The message above sounds like the computer never finishes booting up. Anyways...it sounds to me that the computer may be experiencing "kernel panics". Maybe you're seeing a message like this: [ATTACH=FULL]28576[/ATTACH] Bad RAM many times can cause kernel panics. A bad hard drive typically won't throw a kernel panic. Thus if choosing between the two as the cause of the issue...I would choose bad RAM. HTH, Nick [/QUOTE]
