boot up problem

[brother rob]

my I-mac G5 ppc, with tiger only boots up to a certain point then stays there, it goes to the grey screen with the apple and spinning icon, and while there, the spinng icon gets a small red box around it, then it goes to a screen with horizontal lines of green and bluesh lines and stays there. the mouse pointer is there also, but it is black now with red trim. I have a video of the process uploaded to Youtube at this address:

I need to get up and ruunniing soon can somebody help Me Please!!!

Hi there and welcome,

I'm afraid it sounds like your graphics chip/logic board has blown.

Is it still under warranty ?

If you can boot into safe mode and delete this file "ATIRadeon9700.kext" then you may be able to get the mac to boot but with no graphics acceleration.

System->Library->Extensions
