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
And if that does not clear the air , you may need to view your hard
drive for
a damaged ..... Invisible ..... file . ( File buddy in OS9 , I don't
know about OSX )
Can you boot from a different drive and see if you have the same
problems ?

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?
