[G5] G5 Boot problem

 Hey Tony. What have you done to try and diagnose the problem? Could be a software glitch fixable by running DiskWarrior. Just wondering because of my own experiences.

Hello,

 

Hopefully, someone here can help me.

 

I have a Daul 2.5GHz G5, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD

 

I am having intermittant boot problems and subsequent hanging.

 

The machine goes as far as the grey 'Apple' screen and then does nothing. The 
laser on the mouse switches off and the only way out is to switch the machine 
off.

 

Occasionally, the machine boots up and runs fine.  But sometimes it boots, run 
for a bit, then hangs / crashes.

 

I took it to my local apple store.  The 'genius' at the genius bar did all of 
the same things I tried, looked at the fact that a rivet on the bottom of the 
casing has popped and said apple wouldn't even look at it as it is their policy 
"return repaired machines in 'as-new' condition".

 

I don't for one minute believe that.  But in the meanwhile, has anyone else here 
experienced similar boot problems?  Can anyone give any suggestions or am I 
going have to bite the bullet and buy a new machine?

 

Thanks,

 

T
