Hey guys,

Hoping you can help. I've got an iMac, about 3 years old or so I'm told, that very rarely will not completely boot. When you press the power button it goes to the white screen, and sits, and sometimes will flash the file icon. I put the SL cd in it, and rebooted, and it then booted just fine one time. I ran a "verify disk" and everything seems just fine it says. This was recently upgraded from 10.4 Tiger to 10.6.6 SL. Any ideas? I know with PCs sometimes USB will cause the computer to freeze on bootup, but only a keyboard is plugged in and RJ45.

Its an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz with 2GB RAM and 10.6.6 OS. Thanks guys.
