Aug 20, 2015 1:40 PM in response to Arnevetby Kappy,Do you have another Mac with an optical drive to use with Remote Disc? If not then you need to buy a USB external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive. Other possibilities can be found at OWC or Best Buy.

with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.

button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.

size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which

Aug 20, 2015 2:32 PM in response to Arnevetby Linc Davis,Please try again after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken.
Step 1
Step 2
If your model has user-replaceable memory, and you've upgraded the memory modules, reinstall the original memory and see whether there's any improvement. Be careful not to touch the gold contacts. Clean them with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol. Aftermarket memory must exactly match the technical specifications of the machine.
Step 3
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. One backup is not enough to be safe. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with Disk Utility. Preferably both.
Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups.
Step 4
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider to have the machine tested.
