My iMac G5 iSite has been having frequent "blue screen" equivalents.....the transparent gray box that tells me OSX has quit and I have to shut down.Is there any info in panic.log?Did you update to X.4.10? If yes you'll have to hope that X.4.11 fixes it. What I read about X.4.11 suggests that it is largely intended to fix the bugs in X.4.10. Not Apple's proudest hour.Most of the message meant nothing to me but there was one line that seemed to indicate a memory failure. Is there a way to test the memory on a Mac without having to buy new memory and install it, only to find that wasn't the problem?Easy way is to install Applejack with the memory test option. You can then run a thorough memory test from single-user mode (command line).When watching my system stat monitors, I see that the cpu is frequently at 100%+ usage (and programs are CRAWLING). I suppose there could be a hard drive problem. Since it was getting fullA near full drive could definitely cause all the problems you describe. What process(s) are using all this CPU time? Check with Activity Monitor.have moved iTunes and Photos to an external drive so I could free up space on the main hd, thinking that OSX needed empty space to use as memory??? Is this wrong?You want minimum 1-2 GB of free disk space. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
