After several tries, it will boot (the green power on light turns on). At that point, everything is fine and it runs flawlessly.

It has been suggested that this might indicate that the hard drive is marginal, and is not always responding to the initial hardware detection. I'm not sure I believe this, because of the behavior of the power on light.

I have the exact same problem, I called technical support and they said to disconnect all power and hold on the power button for 30 seconds, but that doesn't do anything. i have a feeling it might be that the ram chip suddenly fried or something like that, Did anyone with this problem replace their ram ?
