Q: Mac Pro Only Boots in Safe Mode - GeForce 7300 issue?
I'm having major issues with my MacPro. Last week I was working when the screen froze. I had to force restart with the power button. Since then it has only booted in Safe Mode.
I've tried booting from MacOS 10.6.3 CD and latest Diskwarrior CD and it get part way through startup then hangs on blank screens. Oddly the cursor works okay at that point.
I suspect the problem might be a bad NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT card. I've seen that issue in a couple other posts
