[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1616428, member: 56379"] I like to try just about everything before really declaring a computer D-E-A-D/faulty! But we have tried quite a bit. A new HD, new ram, and fresh OS install should not have beach balls from a freshly booted computer. The only way I can think of that would cause beach balls under these conditions would be if too many apps are open at the same time. But with 8gig of ram…even 5-6 apps open shouldn't be too much of an issue. And if only one app is open (like Safari)…no problems at all. If we are still getting beachballs…like I mentioned…either a bad HD (even the new one), bad ram…or "bad" computer. - Nick [/QUOTE]
