Thanks Kris... 2 follow up questions. a) is there something similar for the OS as opposed to the hardware?
b) I ran the AHT...but unsuccessfully. When I booted to the disk as instructed (nothing but my monitor, keyboard and mouse connected to the keyboard was plugged in) I received a screen that said : 'Invalid memory access at &SRR0: 00034870 &SRR1: 00003030 type shut-down to turn off or mac-boot to boot computer' I typed mac-boot thinking it was just a minor issue, then received a similar screen: 'Invalid memory access at &SRR0: 056106dc &SRR1: 00003030' This time it had no further instructions. So i typed mac-boot again. >From there I am in what seems like an infinite loop. The screen has a flashing folder alternating a question mark and the 'mac faces' on it. I can hear the CD spin up ever few seconds (seems to be an equal amount of time between spin ups). any ideas?? Thanks!
