So, I basically did what Stewie said and pulled everything down her "undies" .. and since I have a good chunk of ram and peripherals plugged into the ol' gal, it took a minute to do. After unplugging everything, yup, started right up fine and fast. after about two hours of testing, I found that the timeouts believe it or not, were coming from a "Speedzter 5" enclosure that I have a superdrive in. It seems that the "Oxford 911 chip" was the problem child? I'd plug it in... blue screen, unplug.. booted fine. So I guess it's USB only for that enclosure? or might there be a fix? hmm... and I honestly don't know why it worked fine up until this point. Maybe it's a combination of things? don't know.
