[QUOTE="Gawain76, post: 976192, member: 139118"] Hi chscag and thanks for your reply. I am quite reassured by what you say about the GPU on my Mac so I'll try your suggestions. Incidentally, a cloned installation (same as on my internal disk) runs fine from an external disk via firewire - smooth as anything - but as soon as I reboot from the internal, it's back to pausing and freezing again. I have 4GB of RAM which has been functioning well for about a year so I don't think it's a memory problem but I will certainly extract and reseat the modules - I would be so relieved if that's the answer. As for the hardware test, I have only done the short test before as the longer one was taking forever but now I really need to know! I'll report back here with the findings. Thanks again for your help. [/QUOTE]
