[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1610374, member: 56379"] Why do two things at once…if the main goal is to figure out what the problem is? If you make two changes…you won't know which one solved things…and with that knowledge (what really caused the problem)…you may be able to solve a similar problem in the future. What I mean by making two changes is: 1. Wiping the HD. 2. Installing Mavericks. What I would do is (if this is the route you feel you need to go)…wipe the HD…but then reinstall Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is what you are used to…Mavericks is something you are not used to. If after wiping & reinstalling Snow Leopard everything seems better…THEN upgrade to Mavericks.:) Also…what happens if some apps you have installed currently (which work fine with Snow Leopard) aren't compatible with Mavericks?? Now you've caused a 2nd problem. Bottom line. What if the problem really is a bad hard drive…and nothing to do with the OS? Of course either way (10.6 or 10.9) you will still find this out.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
