[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1258714, member: 46727"] There is no way to force the discrete graphics controller on when booting in safe mode. That plus other drivers, even including the sound driver, are disabled. I would return the machine if possible. I believe like the Apple genius that it's a hardware rather than software problem. Whether or not it's related to a defective logic board, that I don't know. If you can't upgrade the OS to no higher than 10.6.3, you'll be at a disadvantage as new software is released that requires a later version of OS X. [/QUOTE]
