What system version are you running? If you upgraded to 10.3.7 try using the
combo updater to reinstall 10.3.7. Also after installing 10.3.7 reinstall
java 1.4.2. The java problem causes many problems for Safari and other
applications that use java applets.
Your mac may be one of the models with memory slot problems. One slot
suddenly refuses to see the ram installed. Check with system profiler to see
if all you ram is identified.
I assume you ran both verify permissions and verify disk in disk utility. If
not try to repair permissions.
