[QUOTE="Peteryoungblood, post: 1802944, member: 400679"] Trying again. I was running Yosemite on this machine. There is a recovery partition on the drive. If I have my normal bootable HDD and my bootable USB plugged in, and I hold the option key after the chime, three options come up: the USB first, then much later the Mac install on the HDD and the Recovery partition on the same HDD. However, no matter which I choose, the systems goes to a white screen and hangs up. It never boots into recover. I've tried a brand new HDD with the bootable USB and it hangs up just the same. This would seem to indicate a hardware problem. As it does the same things on two different Logic Boards, I would assume the problem lays elsewhere, but am out of ideas as to what I should try next. I have tried a different graphics card with no luck. Any other suggestions would be terrific. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
