Hi everybody,

Im new here on this forums so excuse me if solution of this problem is somewhere here, bud I didn't find it. So what going on...

My MBP (early 08) randomly froze about three time last week. Each time after reset was every think okay. But this time it froze and after that I cant startup it. After pressing power button computer seem to start up HDD, optical drive etc., but screen remains black after about 30 sec appears gray screen but without Apple logo. And thats it, this is all I get no starup sound nothing.

A tried to reset PRAM, EFI, SMC but nothing happened. I also put back original RAM modules but still nothing.

Do you guys have any idea how to solve it? Unfortunately Im from Europe (Czech Rep.) so we do not have hare any retail store or something like Genius bar.

I hope this is just silly motherboard problem, 'cause I do not want do visit authorized repair center here. Thanks so much for your advice.

Jan
