White screen in OSX

[chehalistech]

I am running OSX and when I boot it goes through the whole networking thing then a white screen comes up. I can use my mouse and eject the cdrom but that is all. I even tried wiping the hd and installing OS9 and it still boots to OSX, even though I wiped it.

HELP!!!

Model/Ram/OSversion/CPU/Age please.

Actually I figured it out. The person who was using that particular computer installed OS9 to a separate partition(I was told the whole drive was wiped) and then got on that and wiped the OSX partition and was able to reinstall OSX.

Thank for your helpfulness though!
