[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1090362, member: 140470"] If it's taking 14 hours to reinstall the OS I have a feeling is the hard drive or some other hardware problem especially since you said it was running fine 10 days ago. Unless you installed something suspicious my guess is that hard drive might be failing despite what the tests say. If it's something wrong with the OS then a fresh clean install should solve the problem. If it doesn't then that would lead me to believe it's a hardware problem. If you have a bootable clone of your OS then try booting from that and see if you are still getting the spinning beach ball. [/QUOTE]
