[QUOTE="TrollyMcTrolls, post: 1326255, member: 223487"] [b]m4c5tuff4r3tr0115[/b] I personally don't believe this problem sounds like a hardware issue. :Not-Amused: Backup backup backup backup. To help clarify: How old is your Mac? Do you notice any corruption of files/folders? Is the computer making any unusual sounds? I would suggest clearing out your cache files from the Library/Caches and Users/<Your Name>/Library/Caches directories. After this, re-boot. Do you notice any improvement/degrading in stability and performance after this? 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 your backup, both of these should be a breeze. Western Digital Black Edition or Seagate Barracuda 1TB Look for 64mb cache and 2 or more platters (disks) around $100 Hope this helps, Trolly Mc Trolls ;D [/QUOTE]
