A bad pram battery can produce such effects or a loose or bad scsi cable, did you add any drives ? A bad pram battery seems to be able to make almost any symptoms, bombing while extensions load etc. change the battery & then remove all the RAM and scsi - attachments one by one ? If one disk or player is bad it happened that it halted the process, Zapp the Pram will reset the monitor settings - that can also produce a black screen - but maybe the startup would continue then ? kenta
