Symptom/Cure Tables: System Problems After Startup
If you experience system problems after a successful startup
(i.e., after the Finder appears on the screen), most likely the
problem is not with the iMac hardware (with the exception of
some possible RAM issues).
Following are troubleshooting tables with problem symptoms that
you may see after the Finder appears. Possible causes for each
symptom can be found in the left-hand column with the corre-
sponding fixes in the right-hand column. The troubleshooting
information is presented in the order of the most probable cause
and fix; therefore, Apple strongly recommends that you carry out
the troubleshooting in the order in which it is presented.
Note: If you are instructed to replace a module and this does not fix
the problem, be sure to reinstall the original module before you
proceed to the next fix.
