Problem with Brand New iMac G5
I've just got a brand new 20" iMac G5 and it won't start up:
I turn it on and it gets to the apple screen. After about 5 seconds - with the little thing going round, the screen goes darker and the message in like 5 languages comes up saying "You must restart your computer, hold down the power button..." (or similar). Its done this about 20 times. I've powered it off at the socket too...
I tried booting from the DVD and that worked fine, it installed but then went to restart and its back at the same screen...
I've tried zapping the PRAM a few times too...
Help!
Many many thanks
Ed

Anyway, chatted with someone from Apple support and they agree, send it back...
Sad, but there we go
