My MacBook Pro (2007 intel core 2 duo 2GB RAM 2.2 GHZ) keeps giving me a "you need to restart your computer" message. it gets to the apple startup screen and stops. It wont boot from a disc, or boot in safe mode but WILL go into single user mode and target disk mode. I've reset the PRAM and NVRAM, taken out the hard drive and put a clean install of 10.6 on it, and it STILL wont work! I've tried to boot it from a different hard drive with a clean install and it wont work, and i've tried to drain the battery and it wont work. I've taken out both RAM chips and swapped them and it didn't do anything. it NEVER gets past the white apple screen. It just keeps telling me to restart! i don't know whats wrong! HELP!
Update:Update: The apple hardware test from the start up discs told me nothing was wrong. both the quick AND extended start ups.

I even have merely approximately the comparable challenge! I certainly have a prior due 2011 macbook professional. It had its in basic terms kernel panic so some distance around 2 weeks in the past. i replaced into on youtube and had facebook on yet another tab. The log reported it replaced into brought about with the help of a internet site fault, does absolutely everyone recognize what meaning? could I take it to the Genius Bar to get it fastened after in basic terms a million kernel panic? It stored freezing without the beachball of dying some after the kernel panic, even though it did no longer state those have been kernel panics. Please helpp!!!!
Sounds like a problem with the motherboard. You've been pretty thorough, and narrowed it down to hardware as opposed to software, and ruled out the RAM and HD. That pretty much leaves the motherboard. It's time to haul it to the store for testing.
That definitely sucks!
