I ahve a macbook pro, early 2008 model, 2.4ghz, nvidia 8600m
So i was playing games on my windows partition, and the thing suddenly hanged. Fair enough, i did a hard shutdown.
Then it couldnt boot up. When i press the power button, the disk drive spins, and lid light comes on.. but thats all. No chime, gray screen, nothing. The disk drive just spins a little every few seconds. Keyboard is non responsive (no caps lock light), usb has power though. After alot of shouting and cussing and panicking and many other tries ( all with the same result) i went online and found some people with the same problems. Some of them with similar 'can't boot up' problems advised just leaving it for awhile and it would eventually boot up.
So i left it there, and it eventually booted up into os x after around 10 minutes. Everything worked fine, keyboard, lights etc etc. I then restarted it once, and everything ran fine. Phew, i thought, but nooooooo it hanged again. In os x. Ok damn. Restart! Same problem, disk drive spins, lid light, but no grey screen and no chime.
Managed to boot it up again after about 2 hours of continuous trying. I could use osx all for about 10 minutes until the screen kept flashing. No error message, just flashing. I could move the mouse, but could not click on anything. Damn. Hard reset. 2 hours of try-to-boot-up-the-mac. Use for awhile, screen just froze into distorted lines.
So i gave up, and sent to to the repair centre. Still awaiting diagnosis.
I have a theory that the graphics card issue is messing up my whole logic board, i would like your 2 cents on this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Oh i managed to save an error log on one of the sucessful boot ups, here goes:
