Subject: [G5] G5 Boot problem<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hopefully, someone here can help me.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have a Daul 2.5GHz G5, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I am having intermittant boot problems and subsequent hanging.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The machine goes as far as the grey 'Apple' screen and then does nothing. The <br>
laser on the mouse switches off and the only way out is to switch the machine <br>
off.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Occasionally, the machine boots up and runs fine. But sometimes it boots, run <br>
for a bit, then hangs / crashes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I took it to my local apple store. The 'genius' at the genius bar did all of <br>
the same things I tried, looked at the fact that a rivet on the bottom of the <br>
casing has popped and said apple wouldn't even look at it as it is their policy <br>
"return repaired machines in 'as-new' condition".<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I don't for one minute believe that. But in the meanwhile, has anyone else here <br>
experienced similar boot problems? Can anyone give any suggestions or am I <br>
going have to bite the bullet and buy a new machine?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
