Hi Everyone,
I mostly lurve my new 20" 2.4 ghz iMac but everyday around the same time (4-5 p.m.) it starts freezing up on me and I get the beach ball and then sometimes the whole machine reboots itself ... or after many minutes I have to do a hard reboot. At first I thought it was a RAM issue, as I only had 1 gb, but I have upgraded now to 4 gb and it is still doing it. I am not using any resource-hog programs, mostly just firefox, mail and adium. It really slows down if I use iPhoto, so I can't imagine using anything bigger than that. I do have AppleCare and I will call them tomorrow, but I just wanted to know if there is anything I could look for in the meantime.
Thanks,
Critty
