I was home at my parent's house over the weekend. They told me to check out their computer and see if I could do anything to improve it's startup performance. I said, "no, there really isn't any way to do make a significant difference. It should start up between 1 minute and 2 minutes". Well, there's is now taking atleast 6 minutes, and sometime 8!

Something Is definitely wrong here.

In addition, another problem they have is that sometimes it will not wake from sleep. It just sits there with a black screen.

It is an iMac G5 20".

Is there anythign I can do to help them out?
