[QUOTE="Katefrog, post: 1273058, member: 187924"] Hi Hard drive failed so I have replaced my hard drive, installed Snow Leopard and 2gb new RAM in addition to one 512mb of RAM which previously had. It ran like a dream for about a month then the screen froze, mouse would work but nothing would respond then it crashed, grey screen, spinning wheel etc. Reinstalled Snow Leopard and it was very slow and wouldn't get past the location choice and kept running in circles back a step to the welcome screen. Did a hardware check with the grey install disk and it came up with nothing. Thought ok bad OSX install, did a clean install and disk repair. Now it has installed properly this time but it's really slow. Any ideas? Hard Drive again or RAM issue? Suggestions please. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
