I thought I had a failing hard drive, occasional squeaks, beeps, strange noises from what I thought was the HD, then the computer started to hang up with the BSOD ("Blue Screen of Death."). Then it just started to fail to the BSOD more often, 'til it was only possible to start in teh safe mode.

I was able to back up all important files. I installed a new Seagate 80GB, but imagine my surprise when about 10 minutes into OS install disk 1 I saw the ...yes, the BSOD. I've searched around the web, tried to re-install. I ran disk utility, shimmed the logic board...no success. Anyone out there go a better idea? Please?
