Hello, I have a MacBook Pro which i bought brand new back in December of 2006. I am running OS X 10.6.4. with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 3 GB of RAM (1 GB, 2GB). My computer recently has begun to run very slowly. I installed Windows XP through VMware Fusion about 2 weeks ago. Every time I run it, the computer start to heat up and all the fans turn on, which i thought was normal figuring running a virtual machine can make the processor run pretty good. but in the last 2 days, my computer will be running nothing at all, yet the computer is still extremely hot along with all the fans running. I turned it off and had it rest over night but when i turned it back on, it took about a good 5 min to boot up and is still running hot. I downloaded OnyX and cleared the cache and other unnecessary files that were in my computer. My hard drive is using 134 Gigs out of 160. Can that be the problem? I don't know what else to do except maybe just clear out the whole system and bring it back to default settings. If thats the case, I'll do it. I have my whole system backed up on 2 hard drives, 1 through time machine, the other just dragged and dropped.
