[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1150030, member: 56379"] Some similar ideas to what "Chas M." recommended: 1. Back up all important files, reformat the hard drive, and reinstall the OS. See if the hard drive is stable then...and see what Disk Utility reports for it's S.M.A.R.T. status. 2. Back up all important files...and simply replace the hard drive ($40-$60 if you can do it yourself)...since what you're experiencing very well could be a bad hard drive. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
