Greetings,
My guess is that you don't want to fix your problem.
I say this because there is only one way to fix your problem and I list
them below.
1. Remove all of the cards in your machine except the video card, restart
holding down the "Cmd, Opt, P & R" keys until you hear the start-up chime
at least twice.
* If you don't hear the start-up chime then you have a processor problem
- replace the processor with a known good processor.
2. If after step #1 you can shutdown, startup, open applications etc. then
you are on your way to locating what is causing your problem and this step
is for you to replace ½ of the cards that you removed in step #1.
3. Start up the machine again and if; you are back to where you were then
remove ½ of the cards that you installed in step #2 and restart.
*This step is predicated on the number of cards that you installed in
step #2, if you only installed 2 cards then remove 1 card and repeat step
#2.
4. If the machine boots and performs Okay then chances that the other card
is your problem, however this may not be absolutely true, so to make sure
remove the card that worked in step #3 and replace it with the card that
was removed and restart.
* If the second card works Okay then you might have a problem with one
card interfering with the proper operation the other card or perhaps the
card location.
5. If both card work Okay by themselves then you might want to try then in
different slots, both at the same time,
6. Back to step #2 if the cards that were replaced in this step worked then
you should replace ½ of the remaining cards that were removed initially and
restart.
* Repeating the process until the defective card or cards are discovered.
Good Luck
