Hello
My g4 mac is going black after it starts up. I get a grey screen with the apple but no pinwheel turning, then it goes black. I've zapped the pram, tried starting in safe mode, I've run disk utilities from the osx installer disk, verified permissions and repaired them. Not sure what else to do. I check cables and made sure the pci cards are seated. I don't think it's the video card as the monitor works from the installer disk and displays everything, but not from the hard drive. I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance. Matt

Here's my mac

G4 400
80 gb hd
nec multisync monitor
OS 10.4.11
Rage 128 pro
512 sdram
