[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1027447, member: 26315"] Your your Mac temperatures don't look all that bad. I regulary get 70 C when I play World of Warcraft (when I have time to play it haha). And my Mac is running fine. And yes Apple have a heat sensor in all Macs. So if it gets too hot it'll shut itself down to protect itself. Your 41C is nothing to worry about. If you have a recent hard drive backup (time machine or CCC) then a full hard drive rease and restart is not such a bad opnion. It works. But for me it is a last resort. It'd try out Onyx first as you have been Then after that I'd boot off your OS X disk and give your hard drive a repair with disk utility. And fingers crossed it'll come back all repaired ok. Also take a look here. [url=http://homepage.mac.com/frakes/MOSXPT/content/keyboard.html]Mac OS X Keyboard Commands[/url] There has a lot of shortcuts. And the ones that are of most interest concering this issue are the startup and log in commands. They are just there so if someone gives you advice to wipe your PRAM or to safe boot or something else, you will know how to. Also reading this would be of much help to you. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509]Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test[/url] Basically that is the Apple Hardware test. A very good way to test if there is any major malfunctions with your hardware. Just boot up of your OS X disc and hold down the D key. And the hardware test should come up. And if you are running Leopard from the discs that came with your Macintosh, read the Apple link to work out which disc has the hardware test on it. And in your picture you linked to, your istat pro says you only have 68MB of RAM free. That is not much at all. And running low on free RAM like that can cause a few issues. it might be time to slowly save up for some more RAM. [/QUOTE]
