G5 won't start up (black screen saying restart) after installing new memory

I have installed two new memory cards and removed the original and now my computer starts to start up - But then locks with a gray overlay and says restart - which you can only do by a hard start.

The trick with installing memory is that you have to PUSH harder than you can possibly imagine, so hard that you think you will damage the RAM, but you won't. Keep pushing till you hear a click.

  • My MacBook air won't start? Black screen

    I closed my MacBook air and when I opened it again it won't start. I tried to reboot it but the screen stays black. I hear the ventilators turn slowly when I try to turn it on but nothing else happens. The light on the macsafe charger is on. A few hours earlier the charger won't work but the MacBook worked well. After a while it worked again and I charged the computer and surfed on it without the charger later. It happened a little later. I tried to reset the PRAM and the SMC but the screen still stays black. I tried to start it with a external hard drive but nothing. I tried to connect an other screen but still nothing. I'm desperate!
    I have an appointment at the genius bar next Tuesday but I hope it will start again until then.
    What can it be. Is it possible that the charger had a diffect and that something overheat?
    Thanks in advance for your help. And sorry for my English, I'm french.

    Hello!
    My friend is experiencing this very issue and your response would be most helpful as he is out of warranty. Please do keep me posted!

  • Macbook Pro won't start-up (black screen)

    Hello,
    I'm having some problems with starting my Macbook Pro
    specs of my macbook pro are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP13 (15,4 inch 2,2 ghz)
    My macbook pro won't start up anymore, i press the start-up button, it makes the 'krie'-sound then the vans start spinning slowly and then he get's quiet. (screen stays black and the light at the mousepad is on).
    I tried:
    -Connect it to power and wait 15 min. then try again -> same result
    - hardware test (installation disc 1 and then press d) -> screen stays black but the disc starts spinning
    - pram-reset, -> same result
    the only thing i didn't do is check if my ram-sticks are still in position (i never bought new ram, but maybe it started to get loose)
    what to do?

    Just google Nvidia 8600m, and problem, or oh god my screen is dead, and see what comes up.
    Once again, if you have a Macbook Pro from mid-late 2007, chances are you have a bad chip. They will replace your logic board, with another bad chip, which may or may not go bad. It's an obvious issue, Nvidia admits they have a problem, and Apple is just going to quietly resolve individual problems.
    If your computer turns on but the screen doesn't, it's about 99% likely it's the GPU. Go ahead and let Apple replace it. Oh, and if you have a MBP from that time period and don't have apple care. GET IT NOW. You will most likely have a Black Screen Of Death at some point, and Apple care is cheaper than the repair (which may or may not work). Some people have gone though three logic boards. Good luck.

  • IBook won't start up - black screen

    Hi, wonder if anyone can help with this...
    I have an iBook which is about 5 years old. It's always been fine up until this weekend when i turned it on as normal and it just won't start up. All i see is a black screen but it does for a while sound like it's trying to start up.
    I left it for a day turned off then tried turning it on again - this time it looked as if it was starting with the grey screen & apple icon then half may through it froze and there are lines all over the screen in various different colours - this doesn't look like a good sign!
    I've tried starting in safe mode and also by inserting the install CD and starting up holding C but neither register.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks in advance!
    Abi

    Hey AbiTWR,
    .. starting with the grey screen & apple icon then half may through it froze and there are lines all over the screen in various different colours- this doesn't look like a good sign!
    Unfortunately you're right about that. That's the classic symptom for a graphics processor chip that's coming loose. You could try the shim repair mentioned all over this board. Depending on the speed and size you basically put a shim under the board under the GPU.

  • Ipod touch won't start, just shows screen saying to connect to itunes.

    Ipod touch won't start or charge, or do anything other than when I plug it in, the screen shows a picture of the usb cord connecting to itunes. When I tried to connect to itunes using my computer, nothing happened. Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Macbook won't start up - black screen

    My Macbook froze up suddenly today, forcing me to force quit. The problem is that when I start it again, it wont even progress to the blue/grey screen, and it doesn't even give the start up ding. It simply starts as a black screen, and it makes the hard-drive whir in a kind-of stuttering sound. I've tried the basic troubleshooting steps, but to no avail. Has anybody else had this problem before?

    Have you tried Disk Utility Booting from the Install Disk, holding down the C Key. When the Apple Logo appears, let go. When the bootup is finished, select your Language. Then from the Installer menu, on the Menu bar, select Utilities>Disk Utility. Select your HD from the list on the left click First Aid, and Repair Disk...Reboot.
    After reboot..Select Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility, Select the HD, click the First aid, and Repair Disk Permissions.

  • Soon after start up, black screen saying "You must shut down"

    Too often, soon after start up, I get a black screen with the stating that I must shut down the machine. Also, and perhaps related, the fan will rev up more than seems needed. I believe I saw new of a download to fix the above type problems with mac laptops, but I am having it with my imac desktop. Any suggestions?

    When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, kbd & mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
    May be a solution on one of these links.

  • Mac Pro intermediate black screen at boot after installing mountain lion

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro tower, but since installing Mountain Lion I now get a random black screen at boot. Unplugging the apple cinema 20' power supply for 15 minutes seems to clear the fault. Have had no such problems with other OS until Mountain Lion, seems OK when booting to Snow Lepoard on my other drive?
    Anyone have the same fault?

    Thanks for trying the help! I tried every version of start up, but with no screen it was no good..
    Finally solved the problem, it was the ATI HD 2600 XT graphics card that was dying a very slow death.
    Replaced it this morning with a GT120 Nvidia.
    Anyone with this card should Google it, as apple did a big recall on these..

  • MacBook won't start up after installing new Memory

    I have a Macbook White from the year of 2009. It is currently running with 2GB of Memory. I bought 4GB Memory online for my MacBook, so I could get it to run twice as fast.
    I turned off my MacBook, removed the battery, and then unscrewed that 'silver thing'. The one that protects and covers the Memory. I took out the two memory 'parts' and then I tried to insert the new ones. I did not get any kind of 'click sound' or what so ever. They were hard to push in and no matter what I did, I was able to pull them out again without using that 'flicker' or what it is called. The thing used to pull the Memory out. I then inserted my old Memory to check if that worked and it did. They made a very small sound and the Memory sort of disappeared into the machine. They were not loose. The major problem was that the other two new Memory parts were 'loose' and would not 'lock' in the computer. When I tried to turn on my MacBook after inserting the new Memory, the screen was black and it made a weird sound like every 3th second. It did this for about 20 seconds and then I turned it off using the power button.
    What do I need to do?
    Thanks for reading.

    You probably bought the wrong RAM that has different pin assignments, so it won't fit in the slot. Return it.

    Doubling the memory does not make your computer run twice as fast.

  • Black screen on startup after installing security updates KB293357 and KB2937610 on Win 7 64bit

    After installing security updates KB293357 and KB2937610 (both related to .NET) on Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit, my computer fails to start up correctly:
    - start up and windows boot screen
    - then black screen and computer freezes
    The only option to this problem I found so far is do a cold reboot and then let system repair uninstall the updates. Is there a better way to solve this problem?
    System:
    Asus UL80VT laptop
    NVIDIA GeForce G210M (driver version 9.18.13.2702)
    Win 7 Enterprise, fully updated

    Hi,
    After you unstall the two updates, does the black screen issue completely disappear? We should first figure out whether the two updates are the culprits.
    Since the two updates are related with .net as you mentioned, then here's a .NET Framework Repair Tool released by Microsoft, I suggest you try it and check if it cna detect something.

  • Black screen and looping after installing and updating Mountain Lion on Macbook pro 2011 13 "i5 2.4Ghz

    After first installing the new Mountain Lion upgrading Lion on my Macbook Pro was a little slow, so I decided to format and install Mountain Lion via a thumb drive. After installation on my Macbook Pro was restarting all the time and showing a black screen with codes on the screen. I decided to reformat and reset the PRAM, and that seems to have worked. Occasionally a black screen appears with the codes and my macbook restarts again. Last night I updated the Mountain Lion and error and looping retornartam. I thought I had lost all my works, do more entered in the login screen. I turned off my macbook, went to sleep and this morning I called and finally worked Do not know what's going on in my friends' macbook not occur this problem. The macbook them is the 2011 13 "i5 2.0Ghz and another 2010 and they both work perfectly with the Mountain Lion.

    Is there a hardware problem?
    thank you

    Before you upgrade, make sure all your software supports it based on post July, 25, 2012 reports on

    Reports prior to this date are unreliable, as they are likely with beta releases of Mountain Lion to developers. Other pitfalls to realize include:

  • MBP Black Screen on restart after software update

    Hello to all, Just after dowloading today's latest updates, iTunes, Safari, something about file exchanges and Apple remote I beleive, there needed to restart and once done, no chime and black screen...
    All was perfectly fine just before, and I did backup beforehand.
    Tried to reset PRAM, restart in Single user, Safe mode, Installation Disk, all with no success.
    I will let it powered off and let it cool down for a while if it can help, but it was not particularly hot when restarted.
    Any other suggestions ??
    Many thanks !!

    I'm having basically the same problem with my PowerBook 1Ghz Aluminum 17". After running the latest security update and latest iLife patches using SU, my system boots to the local Darwin consol login. I can see my HD and all it's files, but I can't get the machine to boot back into GUI mode. Safe mode doesn't work.
    This was a newly refreshed system running 10.4.6 and ONLY iLife installed - nothing funky and no 3rd-party apps other than those pre-installed in 10.4.x.
    I've booted with the 10.4 DVD, repaired permissions (again) and repaired the drive (reported not needed). Zapping the PRAM doesn't help.
    Perhaps I have a lemon because I have had problems with this machine in the past, but only when installing major system updates between 10.3-10.4 with non-apple RAM. I don't think this is the culprit this time as the machine has been functioning fine since the last fresh 10.4 install (with some OWC RAM).
    Any ideas? Anyone have tips for what can be done in the console to repair the system?

  • Won't start up, black screen, only fan noise: want to recover: help

    So, this may be the end of the powerbook 17".
    And unfortunately, the last time I backed up was 2 months ago on a now dead Lacie external.
    No kidding.
    It won't accept a startup cd, it won't even grab a cd into drive.
    So, what's the chance I can recover and how do I do it?,

    Try things in Apple doc.#300537.
    Cheers!

  • My Air won't start. Black screen and no lights on keyboard!

    I've been in Hawaii for a week, coming from Utah, so not sure if humidity had anything to do with this or not?  But my MacBook Air had been working fine. I went to turn it on last night and nothing. So I thought battery was dead. Plugged in power cord and it started charging. Waited a few min and tried to start, nothing. Waited 30 min, nothing. Unplugged cord and tried. Nothing. This morning cord light stays green, indicating full battery, but still nothing. It has been sitting on a desk for two days and hasn't been touched. Wasn't able to afford insurance when I forked out $1400 for this guy. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

    In such a case, diagnosis is extremely limited, since charger indicates a full charge on the LiPo cells, and you get no powerup sounds then the monitor is eliminated,
    .....inside the Air it is extremely simple...battery cells a logic board and speakers, fan, and SSD.   Very likely you logic board is dead.
    Contact Apple for diagnosis/ repair.
