[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1561542, member: 56379"] Here's what I'm thinking. You may have had some sort of software issue on the old HD (application conflicts, little customization programs that launched on booting, conflicts with external device software, etc.). When you restored everything to the new HD from the Time Machine backup...you may have "carried-forward" all of the potential software problems from the old HD to the new HD. What I would do is: - reformat the new HD - do a fresh OS install - don't install anything else - then see if the problem is gone If it is...then my theory above may be correct. Then unless you can isolate what the software problem was from the old HD...you may have to reinstall all of your apps., documents, music, videos, and photos manually (not from the Time Machine backup). If after doing this the problem remains...then there might be some sort of hardware issue. - Nick [/QUOTE]
