[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1172873, member: 46727"] I don't think the memory is the problem. A machine with bad memory modules will definitely tell you - beep, beep, beep, etc. Do you feel like pulling the mini apart? If so, open it up and remove the hard drive from the machine. Try to boot it again with your original install DVD. Sometimes a machine will do strange things when the hard drive is dead. Sitting around for near three years could have caused the hard drive to develop "the sticky syndrome". If it's not the hard drive then it's probably a dead logic board. Let us know. [/QUOTE]
