imac periodically freezes. No recourse but to shut down from the back, and occasionally, upon start up, it'll hang....ill see the flashing folder icon or apple logo. If I hold down the option key I can usually get to the desktop. It may work for a short while then freeze again. The spinning rainbow wheel of fun. I've already did a hardware check and that turned out fine. Any suggestions?

hi We have a Powermac G4 (mirrored drive doors) with dual 887MHz processor and 2 hard drives. running MacOS X10.4.11 Graphics NVISIA AT4 MX Pro AGP (DVI &ADC) the second/slave hard drive has an image of OS X10.4 tiger installer. When it is switched on we eventually get the apply logo and the timer icon spins at first with ? then it goes to blank screen with the timer icon spinning and will go no further. We have tried to swap hard drives round but it making no difference. We do not know how to get into the system or what else we can do. we do not at this time have the discs Any advice on what the problem could be and how we deal with it preferably without lose of files would be gratefully accepted. thanks
