Second, run Disk Utility and check your disk(s); your troubles might be related to a disk going bad. Third (after trying the cache trick Kris told you), download, install and run Applejack: http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ (run it in Single user mode: hold Command+S at boot) This will do a general cleanup and get rid of possible system issues. Then, I'd try a reinstall of OSX 10.4.11. I WOULDN'T upgrade to a diffferent OSX version, until the problem has been identified (new things often means new troubles). You can also check Activity Monitor (Utility folder): checking CPU loads, you might identify some process that's hogging the machine. Did you change anything about your Ram lately? Sometimes a bad/failing/troublesome Ram stick might create this kind of symptoms, I think. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
