1) NO
2) NO
3) Yes, I never have any peripherals attached, unless I'm grabbing something from my external hdd occasionally after leopard is booted.

5) unfortunately I don't have a hard drive with time machine backup on this iMac. Because I just use it for surfing and occasionally downloading stuff.
6) Yes he does, and now that you mention it, the power did go out, and I have a Belkin Surge Protector. (not battery backup). The problem just started happening, so, maybe its related to a power surge? that still doesn't explain why everything works fine in safe mode!!
thanks
