Finally booted from Mavericks from other partition after unplugging from power for about ten minutes. Am now in process of clean install this time. Apologies for premature post.

After the spinning gear stops, there is only a gray screen and all HD and disc activity stops. I can run Applejack and it finds nothing wrong with the disk although it finds a lot of Java and remote access prefs to repair mostly Java and remote management lockscreen every time. I've tried resetting the VRAM, starting from the install disc, there are no peripherals connected to it. I've unplugged and reconnected it, too.The original RAM is all that is in it. When I perform a safe boot, it goes to a blue screen. This happened fairly recently, but I was able to boot to install disc eventually and reinstall, although not a complete clean install. Any suggestions? Thanks Fred -- -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
