- 21" Imac
Hi all,
I have a 20" Intel Imac and I recently upgraded the hard drive (250gb to 750gb) and ram (2 X 1GB modules). I got the parts installed by my local Apple centre and installed the OS myself (leopard)
Since the install finished the system hangs or freezes every 30 seconds or so for about 1 minute. It does this 3 or 4 times and then stops responding until rebooted.
I've put back in the original RAM and it made no difference. I then installed XP (i'm a windows admin and I wanted to run tests on the drive) and the system worked fine without problems. So I put back on leopard and it happened again.
I'm installing Tiger now as it came with the system first day but I'm getting really frustrated. Has anyone got any suggestions.
