[QUOTE="Buzzard2010, post: 1242603, member: 176415"] Hi Kristo, First off usually a re-format should only be used as a last resort as 99% of the time the problems can be sorted without a reinstall. Have you checked that all the RAM is seated correctly and being read correctly? Also go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and delete anything from that list that you don't need to start when you boot up your mac. Also how much space is left on your HDD? You should always leave around 12-15% free space for OSX to use as temp space so your computer runs smoothly. Also check that you have updated your OS to the latest version. Hope this helps - Simon [/QUOTE]
