The monitor acts >like it isn't getting a signal from the computer. Yes. The machine runs a RAM test on the initial boot but not on the forced reboot, so you may be freezing up during the RAM test and then when you bypass it the machine boots okay. This is definitely a symptom of bad RAM. It's not a certainty, but it's the way I would bet. >Could this be an extension conflict? Man, I hate those... If you aren't getting to the smiling Mac and Welcome to MacOS, then the extensions are not an issue. You can't have an extension conflict if your computer doesn't get to the point where the extensions load (with the rare exception of extensions that mess with OF).
