WHite screen appearing in Logic on my Trusty MBPro -RAM issue?

Hi there,

Am a relatively knowledgable MBPro user. I've an old beauty from 2007 which has done me proud all these years. I recently upgraded the OS from the original Tiger ( ! ) to Snow Leopard and the last three months all has worked smoothly.

Yesterday and today however when I've been working in Logic (still Pro8 - yes, I know!) the MBP starts performning verrry slooowwwwly (beachballs) and the white screen obliterates the arrange window. I've restarted a couple of times but the problem's still there when I open Logic and start running it.

My ETreCheck details are below.

Does anybody have any ideas as to how I mitigate this issue?

Thanks!

Adrian
