[QUOTE="Penelope8, post: 1455099, member: 276112"] Hi! I'm new here, and I appreciate any help someone can offer. I have an iMac: Model Name: iMac Model Identifier: iMac11,1 Processor Name: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 8 MB Memory: 16 GB Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s Boot ROM Version: IM111.0034.B02 SMC Version (system): 1.54f36 Recently (2-3 months ago), the (Seagate) HD failed, so I had an independent (not affiliated with Apple officially) mac techie replace it for me with a brand new HD. The fan won't turn off (something about the kind of HD?), but I don't imagine that is a big deal. Everything was running fine until a week or so ago, when suddenly the iMac is behaving in a similar fashion to the way it was behaving immediately before the previous HD failed. I have gone into Disk Utility, but no errors appear. I'm not a comp expert, so I didn't want to "Repair Disk" blindly. I have looked at my Activity Monitor and found the following information (screenshots):[ATTACH=FULL]18035[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]18036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]18037[/ATTACH] It doesn't appear that anything in particular could be slowing the computer down. I have plenty of free HD space, plenty of RAM, and I'm not running a ton of stuff at a time, despite the fact that this iMac has been fully capable of running heavy-duty applications at one time with little to no performance problems. I have been searching online for a week to try to find answers, but I keep getting the same thing: "free up hard drive space". Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance! [/QUOTE]
