-- Hi All, can anybody throw any light on the following?

-- We lost power during the Great Hailstorm of March 22, and were off
for 4 days. When power was restored, I was pleased that my Intel iMac
(on 10.6.2) was able to power up again apparently normally. But since
then, with all applications (eg writing this email), for no obvious
reason the computer has at times gone into a 'pause mode'.

-- With this, during actions such as scrolling along a movie or
switching to another application, the screen more or less freezes and
the coloured wheel appears. After about 24 seconds the wheel
disappears and normal service is resumed. It's bearable but annoying,
without apparent ill effects in the long run, sometimes happening
every minute or so, sometimes going half an hour or more before
showing up.

-- I have the widget which shows CPU, disk etc usage and can't see
anything special with it (though invoking widgets during a 'pause'
usually shows everything without data, and sometimes the CPU widget
doesn't appear at all).

-- Any thoughts, please?

Cheers --

David Noel
