Hi everyone,
I have a 6 month old macbook pro with a 3.06 GHz processor and 4GB ram on snow leopard. I haven't had any problems with it until the last few days. Recently, finder has started to crash multiple times per day, giving me the spinning beach ball and not allowing me to do anything in any applications. I click "relaunch" on finder, but nothing happens. The only way to fix the problem is to shut the computer down by holding the power button. This has happened at least twice a day every day for the past week. It happens regardless of what apps i'm running. It happens when I'm not doing anything that stresses the processor or uses too much ram (sometimes happens when i'm just running safari and ichat).
I tried using "verify disk" in disk utility, which returned a bunch of errors, which i fixed with the snow leopard disk a few days ago, and it didn't help.
Is there anything else that I can try? Has anyone else had this problem?
