Power Mac G5 - Black Screen and Mouse Cursor
Hello,
Today I came into my room to find that my Power Mac G5 (PPC) is not working. I restarted the computer and I get a chime, then I see the screen with the apple logo, it looks like it gets ready to start, but then it goes to a black screen and my mouse is visible in the top left hand corner of the monitor. Sometimes I can move the mouse and other times I can't. I tested the Hard Drive and found that it still works. I tried doing a safe boot by holding down the shift key, but the computer doesn't start. I left the computer sitting there for a good 10 minutes, but it never safe booted. Maybe I should have waited longer?
Anyways, I just got the computer about 1 1/2 months ago. It was working fine, up until today.
Note: somestimes the computer will go start to a white screen. I read it could be a video card issue, not sure if it is or not, but it's worth a shot I suppose.
Feedback and help would be great.
Thanks!
