I, too, have been having trouble booting. The computer freezes with a blank dark blue screen.
If I then push the off button twice and hold down the [X] key, it reboots just fine in OS X. If I then push the off button twice and and hold down the [C] key, it will reboot from the TechTool Pro CD but NOT from the Mac Install CD (with Disk First Aid). I think the problem is with extensions, but why would the Install CD have problems? I'll write down your advice below, so I can try it next time I have a problem. When TechTool finds a damaged file it cannot fix, I try to restore from a back-up. Might I do better with a complete re-install? I treasure this list, and much appreciate the volunteered help. >When you Mac seems to freeze during boot-up, simultaneously press >the command (open apple key) key, the option key and the esc key. >Wait one second, then press return.
