[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1721207, member: 131855"] Faulty ram can cause problems either intermittently or consistently. Several years ago I bought a new Mac from a reliable third-party vendor. It would sometimes run for days with no problems then suddenly have issues. Performance passed the Apple Hardware Test distributed with that machine. Finally, I downloaded a third-party utility to test the ram and failed immediately and consistently. I think Nick is on the right track with memory issues being the problem. [/QUOTE]
