I am having extremely painful problems with my imac G6 20" that is coming up 2 years old in march 2010..
Up until now it has run like a dream never crashing, freezing or quiting applications for no reason..
about a month ago i moved house and didnt have internet for a month i set it up once we had moved and everything seemed to be fine.. i packed away again, as i didnt need it without the internet and once the internet was put through i set it back up ready to use..
as soon as the internet was put through i stated noticing problems.. firstly even though the internet we had bought after the move was up to 4x faster than the old broadband its was running as slow as dial up on my mac..
so i test it out on my sister £300 dell laptop which is slow at the best of times, and the internet was running at super speeds.
so i go about the process of deleting all the cookies and tempory internet files on my mac in the hope of some speed increase.. no luck..
so i struggle with epically slow internet for about 2 weeks and then more problems start hitting, at first i would get firefox freeze and i had to force quit it.. occasionally it happens but not 4/5 times in an hour..
then yesterday the entire OS failed and i had a box telling me to hold down the power button until my mac turned off..
and now its freezing applications all the time and still so slow..
i have never had this problem before and is hoping there is something i can do other than totally wiping it..
ANY advice would be much appreciated
