Rufus,
A couple of days ago I had a similar situation. OS X was unstable.
SeaMonkey and EyeTV would randomly crash requiring a reboot, which only
solves the instability of the system for a short while.
You might want to run OnyX. After running OnyX OS X has been very
stable. (I read an article ZDNET, MacWorld or another site but cannot
remember which recommended running OnyX every three months with all
options checked but clear browser history and cookies.)
OnyX saved my iMac BTW I am running OS X 10.6.5 on a 24" iMac (late
2006) 2.16 GHz.
Download OnyX from apple's site
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
What is OnyX:
A multifunction utility for Mac OS X which allows you to verify the
Startup Disk and the structure of its System files, to run misc tasks of
system maintenance, to configure some hidden parameters of the Finder,
Dock, QuickTime, Safari, iTunes, Login window, Spotlight and many
Apple’s applications, to delete caches, to remove a certain number of
files and folders that may become cumbersome and more.
Download it and run it with all options checked, except Browser cookies
amd Browser history. It works miracles, but can not cure all problems.
I already have Onyx - and a few other apps like it; MainMenu as primary
- installed and run the OS X cleanup scrips nightly at shutdown.
The only app I was having a problem with was Seamonkey, and over a
couple of nights/restarts/cache cleans.
I'm running 10.6.5 on both a 24" iMac and 15" MacBook Pro - only the
'Book had a problem. So far...I reinstalled SM and haven't spent a lot
of time using that machine since, but I'll be watching it as I do. The
crash-crash-crashes did stop after the re-install. So far...
