By "the machine is back to failing to boot" I mean that it was completly re-installed with the os and everything was running for about 24 hours - long enough to reinstall software and start to reconfigure it. Then it started to hang at the OS loading screen - it will not go any further. No error messages, no "hard drive busy" light - nothing. The computer's fans are all working, and the hard drive isn't making any odd noises. (Previously, the error that caused me to replace the hard drive was bad hard drive noises and failure to even find an OS on the hard drive)
