I just reinstalled OS X on our PowerBook & now I keep getting the grey "You must restart your computer" screen. Um - help?

Which version of OS X? Why did you reinstall? Trying running the Apple Hardware Test, hold down the D key while starting up from the system DVD.
Yes, I tried restarting it. 
The same thing happens.
It's OS X 10.3.2, I think. I'm trying the Apple Hardware Check now - I'd tried to get there before & never could. It was option key & start - the "D" key didn't seem to produce a result.
We'll see what happens - thanks!

Sounds like you are installing an older version of OS than it needs.
You can look up on everymac.com your model.

Ok, Apple Hardware Test says the RAM is fine but gave me a horrible error code for the hard drive. Heading to Google now to see what that means.
