Okay, once you click on the hard drive icon once, you then click on the straight arrow and that will then boot the Mac on from that drive. But yes, I'd go get those CDs and boot from the hardware test one and see if it comes up with something. If not, then you could boot from the OS restore/install CD and tell it to archive the old OS and install. That will put the curent OS in a folder, and then install a new copy, but keeps the user info, appilcations, and most settings.
