[QUOTE="joe.morgan, post: 927813, member: 23213"] Hi everyone, Some of you may have seen my posts before about my problematic mac pro and I have tried to fix it but unfortunately had no luck. Basically after it running really slow, crashing on the smallest of tasks (sending and email and then opening spaces to go to a new window to use word for example) the whole thing would freeze, fans go full pelt as if to take off and i have to turn it off. I then have to wait 5/10 minutes before it can turn it on again otherwise it wouldn't boot up. So I thought it was hardware or a bad install of OSX or similar to bought a new HDD and did a fresh install on OSX with snow leaopard this time, put all my software back on and today it started to crash again. For example, i opened a new tab in safari and the whole machine crashed like above. So i presume its a hardware problem, over heating? PSU problem? Any thoughts of what I can do? Or ill just bin it and use my old mac book which has survived 5 years with no problems. Thanks for your help [/QUOTE]
