Ok,
So I was minding my own business, talking on Adium with Safari, WC3 and Team Speex open and went to check the date in the menu bar. I clicked it, and my computer totally froze. I could move my mouse, everything else was unresponsive.
So in response, I force booted it and I heard everything start up as usual... start up chime, everything... and the screen came on to load. Apple logo with spinning loading wheel..... as soon as the spinning wheel stopped... as in where it would normally show the log in screen progess bar loading up, the computer completely shut off. I tried again. Same thing. I kept trying and trying and eventually the start up chime wouldn't even sound.
I'm going to try resetting the PRAM, fsck etc right now... other than that any ideas? Also I don't know where my Hardware Test CD is... is it the Tiger Install CD? Because otherwise I can't find it which is really odd seeing as I didn't misplace it... UGH!
Your help is grately appreciated. Sucks if its the logic board gone. Such a shame too, because I wasn't doing anything to screw it up. This machine is 2 years + a few months old... no AppleCare so if its the logic board I might have to get a new machine. Sigh........ here goes my summer job earnings....
Thanks
