Hi!
I'm new here, and I appreciate any help someone can offer. I have an iMac:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac11,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 16 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: IM111.0034.B02
SMC Version (system): 1.54f36
Recently (2-3 months ago), the (Seagate) HD failed, so I had an independent (not affiliated with Apple officially) mac techie replace it for me with a brand new HD. The fan won't turn off (something about the kind of HD?), but I don't imagine that is a big deal.
Everything was running fine until a week or so ago, when suddenly the iMac is behaving in a similar fashion to the way it was behaving immediately before the previous HD failed. I have gone into Disk Utility, but no errors appear. I'm not a comp expert, so I didn't want to "Repair Disk" blindly.
I have looked at my Activity Monitor and found the following information (screenshots):
It doesn't appear that anything in particular could be slowing the computer down. I have plenty of free HD space, plenty of RAM, and I'm not running a ton of stuff at a time, despite the fact that this iMac has been fully capable of running heavy-duty applications at one time with little to no performance problems.
I have been searching online for a week to try to find answers, but I keep getting the same thing: "free up hard drive space". Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance!
