Machine Model: PowerMac7,3
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (2.2)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 900 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.1.8f7
OSX 10.4.11
several USB and FW external drives hanging off it.
I don;t know how much of this is coincidental and what, if any of it,
might point to a problem.
A few months back I replaced the second HD from a 300G to a 2T.
Put my iTUNES library there and since then it's acted sluggish
accessing songs.
Last week I got CARBON COPY for 10.4.11, installed and ran it for the
#1 boot drive (older 150G drive) onto the #2 2T drive as a backup
It did it's backup thing and then pointed out about 10 files that it
said were on a bad disc area.
at the same time teh system became HUGELY non-responsive, taking
seconds of beachball to respond to keyboard and mouse input,
progressing to MINUTES of beachball to respond to simple typing on
screen, clicks on opening files, seemingly total hangs ( which seemed
to be just REALLY long delays in response) to opening programs, ATARI
WORKS seeming to hang 1/2 way through startup. Attempts to FORCE QUIT
apps would take minutes to respond to, and force=quits would seem to
go in stages, minutes long, until eventually getting each program to
really quit. In general it seems to be getting itself VERY confused
and bound up, resulting in my repeatedly going to hold-the-power-
button forced shutdowns.
What would be my next diagnostic step here?
Thanks
