Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
What happened when you restarted as advised?

Try booting from your install disc, and repairing disk permissions and repairing disk, and repeating the disk repair a second time.

It was a graphics card failure. Apparently NVIDIA made a load of bad graphics cards which failed in most PCs and only particular Macs i.e. this one! It's a known issue so the repair work and parts are all done for free :) good news really. Thanks for your help!

yep, that's why I gave you that link....
original 1yr warranty extended to 3yrs on that graphics processor :)
If you're lucky, maybe if you ask nicely enough, they will upgrade your Ram or HD for you troubles :D
