Software or hardware problem ? Software... Does the machine display this abherrant behaviour if rebooted from a cd (this can be accomplished by setting the CD as the startup system via the control panels>startup disk) Hardware... Did you zap pram (cmnd-opt-P-R) at *startup*. (Doing so at restart doesn't fully clear the pram.)
