[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1230273, member: 38864"] Before doing anything else, run the Apple Hardware Test to be sure you didn't draw the short straw and get a defective unit: [url=http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/aht.html]The Apple Hardware Test[/url] If that all checks out, I would try reinstalling OS X from scratch and start over. Download and install all the updates before trying to install Final Cut Express or Aperture.
