[QUOTE="dazcaz, post: 1006811, member: 131276"] Right, I think I'm getting closer. Plug-ins. I have removed a few plug-ins for the "internet plug-ins" folders. I have put them in another folder for safe keeping. It seems that I I had a "Shockwave" plug-in and a "Flash" plug-in. The shockwave one is put there by Tiger on installation apparently, but being of the older format, it's not removed by the installation of a modern version of Flash. Before I removed this I was getting the pinwheel of doom, but even this was an improvement on the complete locking up of the G5 :) Further testing will be needed, but over an hour and rapid web page changes, You Tube videos and other sites that made the crash happen and all is OK... Am I speaking too soon again? I'll find out tomorrow evening. My son has gone to bed, so I can't play until after work tomorrow :( Fingers crossed. Darren [/QUOTE]
