Help! G4 Tower Hanging Pinwheel startup

[djcarpediem]

yes. I think it is a firewire or usb issue. but I can't seem to fix it.

The only work around is to UNPLUG all FIREWIRE and USB devices and then PLUG THEM BACK IN AFTER The CPU and DESKTOP boot up.

can anyone? give me any idea as to why this is happening?

HOW DO YOU REBUILD THE DESKTOP on OSX?
if there is such a thing? is this what is up?

thanks.....

Also 3 firewire ports PCI card plus 2 stock FIREWIRE then 2 USB.....

once they are all unplugged....the DESKTOP will LOAD UP correctly.

but if any one of them is plugged in.....and believe me I have tried each one....like a needle in a haystack.....and they are all causing it to HANG...

and PIN WHEEL or not even do that....just DESKTOP PICTURE period.


any help?thanks!

One of your devices is defective. Isolate the bad one and replace it

Try my application, Mac HelpMate.
