Question

I have a iMac 24" early-08 that Kernal Panics after about 20min. . I ran the Apple Hardware Test, got Error 4MOT/3/40000004: HDD-1553 What does this error mean?

I ran the Apple Hardware Test, and I got Error Code 4MOT/3/40000004: HDD-1553

I thought maybe Hard drive so I installed a New Apple 500GB HDD, and re ran the test.

I got the same Error. 4MOT/3/40000004: HDD - 1553, What does this Error mean?

iMac (24-inch Early 2008), ERROR CODE 4MOT/3/40000004: HDD - 1

That indicates a problem with the cooling fan for the hard drive. Verify that the hard drive fan cable is securely connected and that there are no obstructions that would prevent the fan from rotating. Replace the hard drive fan if the error continues.
