Hi all,

I've done as much research as I could before posting, but no luck. I have a G5 tower that has a strange pixelated screen and freezes while trying to get past the grey loading screen.

When I try to do a safe boot, it takes me a bit further:

When I hold down V, this is the code I get up until it akes me to the pixelated grey screen and freezes

When I try to boot off the install disc, I can choose the disc but it once again freezes while at the grey loader screen.

Any ideas? Thank you so much!
 
Did you try reseating the old video card? I'd imagine that could have been a culprit too.


BTW: Wrong forum, this is Mac Pro, G5 = PPC.
