Last night I was minding my own business on the internet, and checking on some news articles. I always leave the iMac on at nights, for quick access in the morning before I go to work.
This morning I wake up and the iMac is off, so I turn it on and BAM! It won't even boot. It crashes every time. It's funny this happened now, because my brother's exact same iMac randomly does this all the time. It's now at a point where the only thing I can do is hold SHIFT and boot into safe mode.
WHAT do I do? Why would this happen all of a sudden? I didn't do anything, the computer just randomly crashed?! that's horrible! I'd expect it from a windows box, but 10.5.4? I'm not running any fancy software on here, just Office 2008, Photoshop CS3, Acrobat, and Illustrator.
Please, I ask for all your help!
THanks
