Hey guys, hopefully some of you can help me since the "geniuses" couldn't.
I purchased my Mac Mini(specks at the end of the post) in the end of February, and since I bought it its been acting in the weirdest way. For no specific reason it will freeze for about 5 seconds and then unfreeze. Theres no real pattern, it freezes when I'm reading emails, watching Youtube vids, listening to music, watching DVD rips; it'll even freeze with no applications running.
Whenever it freezes, one of the CPU cores will spike up to 100% and then go back down to normal. I've taken it to the Genius bar a couple of times and every time they say theres no hardware or software issue with it. You can imagine how disappointing this is being my first Mac. Hopefully someone here can help out out.
