ok, heres the thing.. It doesnt chime....
I push the power button, everything seems fine, and then instead of chiming it just sits on a blueish gray screen... and thats the end of it.
I tried reseting the PRAM from what apple had on thier website, and for some reason it starts up only after i reset that. If i just push the power button it wont start, but if i go through that whole thing with the PRAM it will start up....
Maybe this system log will help.. This is from this morning when it happened again:

I dont know what any of that means, but perhaps it could help, and due to the holiday i cant call apple, soooo you guys are my only help!
So theres no chime, it stays on a solid blueish grey screen, it SOUNDS like its working, yet nothing comes up on the screen.. Usually i just hold the power button to turn it off then restart and try again..
anything i could do to fix this?
