Linda, This Apple KB article <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58442> says that three beeps indicate that no installed RAM passes power-on self test. Did you recently change out your RAM? Do you have any spare RAM you can use to test? Other than that it may be a motherboard failure of some sort. If you can get it to boot, use your Hardware Test CD (you have to start up the machine using the HW Test CD) to help narrow things down. Good luck, Mel "Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle." ~Anonymous On Feb 22, 2005, at 1:59 PM, Paul Moortgat wrote: > I should startup with the install CD and repair it from there. > > Paul Moortgat > > On 22 Feb 2005, at 19:50, Polkadoter at aol.com wrote: > >> Using a 867 with 10.3.5 - digitizing in FCP HD - had a kernal panic. >> Restarted and it just gives me three beeps and three power flashes. >> Once I got it to come up but on the progress bar I got a kernal >> panic.
