Well, having gone to Apple support, there seems to be lots of people having similar problems with crashes and freezes, with all sorts of possible solutions, all time consuming, but potentially very helpful. Like Ruben, I might have to wait a month or so to have time to actually fix the problem, but don't feel quite so bad knowing that its probably Tiger causing it, and there may be fixes, like repairing permissions on your home folder manually (doesn't happen when you fix permissions system wide apparently).

Sorry not to be able to offer a simple solution, but for all machines I have had access too and my own PB. I have done complete rebuilds and added all patches, upgrades and security fixes including QT before installing SW. Since doing this too PB it has been well behaved and extremely stable-responsive with the 10.4.1 update rebuild. A G4 dual I use for editing has been the same as has the PMG5DP I think; as I do not have 24/7 access cannot confirm either way.

Yes I was having issue with 10.3.9 and 10.4 on dual processor machines, but as above states it looks OK, I would keep an eye on logs and see if their are any specifics. I found QT was causing some issues in 10.3.9 but going to 10.4 and especially since doing .4.1 rebuild all is well...

One thing I have come to do with each reiteration of rebuild I always do repair permissions after each upgrade path and with Apple OS X updates I usually run DiskWarrior across each partition. Oh, a real biggy I nearly forgot disconnect all FireWire and USB devices before attempting any of the above.

Macromedia products need to have Licensing reset after installing Tiger, even though they seem to work, I have found by doing this they become responsive and well behaved. Check all SW or Hardware manufacturers sites and their forums to see if there are known issues also patches or updates are now coming through for most that are having issues.

Time consuming and a pain, I suppose it depends on how annoying the problem has become in configuring time into repairing.
