This is my first post on the forums and am having a horendus time with my Mac Pro, info of computer:
10.5.8
2x 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon
16GB Ram
500Gig HD
2T - Second HD
All of a sudden my computer started to freeze up yesterday, it happend a few years ago and i cant remember for the life of me, how i fixed it.
IT happend after 5-10 mins of inactivity, somtimes a bit longer, sometimes a bit less. Cant use mouse, nor keyboard, compute fans seem to work fine.
Ran Disk Utilities, but after running Repail Permisions, it said it couldnt repair problem.
Eventually done an Archive and Install, ecveryrhing ran fine and there was no freeze after leaving machine for 10-20 mins. Ran Disk Utilities and the PErmisions were fine, everything looked perfect.
One thing i did notice was when archiving and installing, the computer, while installing did freeze as i left it for 5 mins so instead of re-starting it, i thought id leave it and do something else, it might come back on again – and after an hour i came back and it just finished restating as the grey apple screen had started up, so it managed to work through the freeze.
Later on, went to lunch, came back after an hour and i came bak to a frozen computer again!
Ran DU and it showed a whole load of errors, couldnt run disk repair as it said the program failed after a while while hanging all other programs for at least 5-10 mins, all i could do was move the mouse, not click on anything.
I've purchased MacKeeper and ran all checks and everything thing seems to be running fine.
Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have any soloutions please, can i run any more disk checks to see what could have caused the problem?
You're help would most apprecaited.
Thank you
Kind Regards
