i find with the iMacs that you might have to plug it out and plug it back in again. There is also a reset command on start-up but I cant seem to remember it at the moment.

__________________we've tried a different power cord. It seems like it would be really hard to get to the cmos, is there a chance that its the power supply? ok my next question, would it be smarter to try and fix it or just look towards a new system, this time pc lol

I like headphones.

How old is it? Still in warranty?
In all honesty, not many people will be able to help you on this forum. After all, you can't overclock a mac. I would advice going to a forum specaillising in macs and post your problems there. And macs rock lol. <3 bootcamp, OS X and XP

There is a button on the inside of some mac motherboards, which clears the pram. Pram = Cmos on macs for the most part, its usually a little grey button about the size of a pin. Other then that its either a dead powersupply or dead logic board.
