Hello.
So here's the story. I was watching a streaming flick when my screen went gray and said I need to restart my computer manually. Upon doing so I got the box informing me that OS X unexpectedly quit. I then tried to continue browsing the web when Safari will just quit with out giving me the dialouge box.
I then tried to run Onyx which unexpectedly quits as well as any other app I try to run. I even tried making a new user and it does the same trickery.
Any suggestions on what I should do? I cannot even repair disk permissions because that quits. Plus I did that from my DVD about 2 weeks ago, so I wouldn't think that is the issue. Also Onyx is able to check the S.M.A.R.T and it always passes, then it quits.
Should I just restore my computer to the factory settings. If so is that the erase and install feature on the DVD?
Sorry for the incoherence, I'm just lost/worried/ and scared its gonna cost me some dough.
By the way its a Powerbook G4 1 Gb of RAM, running off 10.4.11.
Respect.
