[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1612824, member: 56379"] Ok...that makes a BIG difference!:) If this is the case...then you very well should be able to swap the "boot hard drive" from one of the other Powermac G5's...install it into the Powermac G5 with the problem...then see if it boots normally. If it boots normally...then the problem is on the hard drive...and not something "bad" on the rest of the computer like the logic board or video card. If the different boot hard drive does not solve the problem...then this Powermac G5 has bigger problems. Which from a "big picture" perspective is not really that big of a deal. Why...depending on the model Powermac G5...these are selling for only about $100 on eBay. I even saw one sell for about $21 bucks. Yes you heard me correctly...each of the Powermac G5's at your location are probably only worth about $100 each. And on a "good day" for a buyer ("bad day" for a seller)...only about $21 bucks on eBay!!!;) - Nick p.s. In case this Powermac G5 has a video card problem...you could also swap one of the video cards from one of the other Powermac G5's...into the "problem" Powermac G5.:) [/QUOTE]
