[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1802770, member: 56379"] @sk. Want to give you a big heads-up. I've never really found the Apple Hardware test on the CD/DVD to really be all that helpful...thus you may be jumping thru all sorts of hoops to try to get the Apple Hardware test to run...and when you do get it to run...you may still end up with an inconclusive result. Purchase some RAM from a vendor that will allow you to return it. Remove all the old RAM from the computer...install the new RAM only...and see if this cures the issue. If it does...great! Keep the RAM...and keep on keeping on. If the new RAM does not solve the issue...return the RAM...and try something else.:) Bad RAM is a very likely cause of the issue at hand...thus it's not exactly like blindly or randomly trying something:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
