This is a daily thing now. Quite often it does not load even disk aid as I just keep hitting control+cocommand+shutdown keys to get further and further into the boot process after 1 to 3 freezes during the first starts in the morning boot up. I will get a new battery soon, but I simply do not understand this stuff and never have. I don't even know why it does not lose the date and time when you yank the battery out and replace it a minute later? Is there some capacitor maybe holding a bit of charge to keep it going temporarily. The pram circuit is a big secret, a huge mystery, even theologians would argue the toss on this for years...
