Hey Guys,

I posted here the other day about my startup problems, but now it's more specific, and I think a couple of you may know what's going on now:

When I start up my computer all is does is come up with a gray screen with an icon in the center of a folder with a question mark and random logo flashing back and forth. If I leave it there for 12 hours, it just does the ame thing. If i turn it off for 2 days it does help. Any Suggestions????

Try reinstalling your System.

just stick the disc in and it should know what to do from there?

Ah, sorry. Hold the C key down when you restart.

If you can get it to boot, goto about this mac and select ATA and see smart status of drive. If it reports verified it probably is OS, and needs reinstalled. Try booting from Tiger Cd and reinstalling.
