Hello! Has anyone ever had a problem where the iMac displays this? I turn the iMac on and this is all I get. Won't boot any further. The iMac is a 20-inch early 2008 model. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

2008 model iMacs had a bad habit of failing graphics cards –*I'd say unfortunately your machine is toast. My late 2008 24" has this issue to a lesser extent, it will just randomly lock up and display something like this after working fine for days or weeks.

Thanks!
