Hi Jude,
How full is your hard drive? If you have more than one volume, how full
is your startup volume?
If it is close to full, you may experience these problems as the caches
fill up. These may not be cleared until a restart, then the computer
will run Ok until the disk gets close to full again.
Cheers,
Mike

I was wondering if anyone knew what sort of tests I could run to see
if all my hardware is alright. I'm getting increasingly frustrated
with a dual 800 G4 and I've run every test and workaround I know of to
fix it, and still the problem persists.
I've run the onboard Disk Utility stuff, repaired permissions (a lot),
run Diskwarrior (including the hardware tests), zapped the PRAM, used
Mac Janitor, Cache Out, Memtest, and Virex.
I'm still getting stalls and slow downs that require a restart, and
the other day I got a grey box telling me I needed to restart the
computer (while a client was sitting beside me - doh!).
I've upgraded all the way to 10.3.9 in hopes of ironing this out but
it just seems to be getting worse.
I don't use system modifiers like fruity menus or anything. I do have
a few out of the ordinary apps like cheap-o-scope and lots of
conversion apps, but these are not running at the time the problems
occur.
Any ideas?
