[QUOTE="riegeronimo, post: 1193179, member: 38662"] I have recently been getting this more and more often. it seems to happen when itunes is running and playing music through my airport the most, though it is not the only time it does it. I reinstalled osx and did a disk permissions check and it originally had an error, but while doing the the disk check when finished it said repaired. so i was hopeful that it was fixed. though, now it does not do it as much as it did before, i still get it more often than i would like. the back left (if facing the screen)of my computer gets really hot when it tends to freeze, and the only way to fix it is to shut it down and let it cool. i asked a friend, a local computer guy, he said it sounded like the ram is on its way out. can anyone help me with this. i would like to see if i can fix it because getting the computer to the store is a bit of a pain. I am running the most up to date software as well as 4 gigs of ram. [/QUOTE]
