Is that Mac now running? If it is, use Console.app (in
/Applications/Utilities/) to view the panic log. From that, you can
often tell what failed.
It started back up with no problems and is running but there is
a delay when I'm typing and I get the spinning ball sometimes... I
have been having trouble with the spinning ball for a few weeks but
not typing...
Did/does that Mac BONG normally? The bong indicates the self-test
passed. If it fails, you'll either hear nothing, or a chord or beeps
- which indicate what failed.
It never stopped the bong on startup even when i got that screen
and by the way it was a dark gray screen but the window error
message was out line in white and had white letters and it was also
in Spanish and another language... I never had any problems with
any of my Apple computers in the 14-15 yrs!!! I'm trying now to
figure out how to get that panic report, I never did this before???
I would try a HDD swap and see if the problem goes away. I think you
could even do it with a FW external.
