[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 404184, member: 13565"] The option to boot from the Software Restore & Install DVD while pressing/holding the C key only works if the DVD is in the drive and you're holding the C key .... it will revert back to normal boot sequence otherwise. I'm not sure what to add to that since you say its a fresh install. Maybe running Disc Utility from the Software Restore & Install DVD under the above requirements, and repairing Permissions and repairing the Hard Drive is a possible avenue in this instance. Also maybe you should run the Hardware Test too, which is also on the DVD. Here's a link re: [COLOR="Indigo"][I][URL="http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/aht.html"]Running the Hardware Test on an Intel Mac.[/URL][/I][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
