[QUOTE="TrollyMcTrolls, post: 1330480, member: 223487"] Could you please clarify some things for me: How old is your computer? Do you notice any sounds (ticking/scratching/ect) from the harddrive during boot ect? Are any files/folders corrupt or unable to open? How much disk space do you have remaining? I would suggest, if you have not already, clearing out your cache files from: 1) Library/Caches 2) Users/<Your Name>/Library/Caches After this, re-boot. Do you notice any improvement/degrading in stability and performance? Worst comes to worst, you may be looking at either a re-install of operating system or installation of new hard drive to fix the problem. With a backup of your valuable documents, both of these should be a breeze. Hope this helps, Trolly Mc Trolls ;D [/QUOTE]
