(think its easy to think crap titles up like this ? )

anyway i got a friend who has a mini who seems to be in a spot of trouble i dont have the mini on hand but she told me the mini is stuck in a restart loop

computer keeps requesting to restart before the log in screen is reached

runs tiger

no firmware updates

not connected to the net

owner doesnt know the specs other then being an intel 2006 mini

was working yesterday stopped today

so whats wrong with this ?
