[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1172603, member: 38928"] Sounds like you have an app/process running that's hogging CPU/disk/graphics power. Start by bringing up Activity Monitor and sorting by most CPU used. See if you can spot anything using a high amount of CPU time. Next go to System Preferences - Account - Login Items and see what loads at startup. Remove anything you don't use, restart your Mac and try again. If it's still happening disable them all (temporarily), restart and try again. If the problem goes away re-enable them one at a time, restart and try again until you find the cuprit. If it makes no differnce disabling them able post back and I'll have another think. Post back either way and let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
