[QUOTE="louishen, post: 1433252, member: 40142"] Try starting up in safe mode, if successful do some file pruning, you should have at least 20 gig free space to give the system breathing room Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator [/QUOTE]
