Why is my Snow Leopard 10.6.8 suddenly giving me a gray screen and progress bar after I've turned it on? The progress bar takes 4-5 minutes to complete then signing on with my password and all other operations are normal. Solution? Many thanks.

First of all, do a PRAM reset. If it doesn't help, open Terminal and type:


sudo nvram boot-args=""
