Help Please my iMac keeps freezing
I am running Mac OS X version 10.7.5 with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor
I have run the Disc Utility that comes with the machine to verify the HD and it says the volume appears to be ok.
The memory capacity of the hard disc is 999.35 GB with 808.84 GB in use and 190.51 free memory
My iMac will be operating fine for a few minutes then it freezes and the rainbow wheel appears for a few minutes then it functions normally for a few more minutes then it freezes again.
I cannot associate the freezing with any particular application or with being online or working locally
I have been also running the Activity monitor and noticed that
under the CPU tab the " % System memory " is always red
under the System Memory tab the " Wired" indicator is always red
under the Disc Activity tab the " Data written/sec" is always red
I do not know if these items being "red" are a trouble indication or a help to isolate the problem, but I thought I would mention
Any help or direction is greatly appreciated
