[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1597365, member: 56379"] It may or may not be related to the issue. But given MacKeeper's reputation…it's always possible (especially if the problem is software related). But it is possible that a failing HD is the problem (after other possibilities have been eliminated). I think that you asked how would you know if the HD is the problem. As I mentioned…eliminate all other possibilities: - free up a bunch of free space - run Onyx - maybe try a ram upgrade (although I'm thinking that since the computer has 4gig of ram…low ram may not be the issue) - since you sort of thought that the problem was related to the upgrade to Mavericks…you could resort back to the OS version you had previously (but I don't think that the Mavericks upgrade is the issue) - You could try booting from a different HD. * Nick [/QUOTE]
