iMac G5 displaying "You must restart your computer" message at startup?
Hi there, hope you can help.
Each time I start up my G5, the apple gets displayed and the notched "clock face" starts to spin, but then the screen goes a dark grey and I get a message saying "You must restart your computer" in three languages.
Things I've already tried
1) Using an external drive to start up from
2) erasing/reformatting the internal hard drive and reinstalling the OS
The same error message pops up when I choose to restart off the external drive if I do an option + start up.
The same error message pops up when reinstalling the OS when it reaches the of the install Disk 1 and it automatically restarts.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)
