hi,
-my 2009 iMac stopped working. Beachballl Only.
- i could secure my data through Windows Safe Mode (only thing that worked)
- Put in a new 1tb SSD, as i thought maybe the HDD is broken. (HFS journaled GUID)
- bootable Yosemite and El Capitan USB Stick clean install (erased and Formated the SSD with Disk Utility)
- takes forever reboots like 2-3 times whilst installing and then
- Stuck on whitescreen.
- Restarting the mac, the installation kinda worked because there is now
not only the bootable usb drive but Mac and Mac recovery.
- opened Disk utility and Checked the MAC installation no ... harms
anyways it won´t boot.
maybe there is a hardware defect?
broken RAM like it can install but not boot OSX properly?
(i ordered 8GB to test in a few days)
Power Supply, GPU and CPU should be safe otherwise the Mac couldn´t
produce a picture, or do anything even in Windows Safe mode with the old HDD installed, right?
HELP guys i am very desperate.
Thanks
