[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1491503, member: 46727"] I was going to suggest that your hard drive might be at fault, but if you ran Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and the drive passed, I don't know. And since you can't boot normally, there's no way to run the SMART utility to double check the drive. The fact that you can not get into Safe Boot mode also makes me suspect a hardware error. And the leading suspect is usually the hard drive. Is your hard drive the original drive which came with the machine new? [/QUOTE]
