[QUOTE="mrk123, post: 1631693, member: 321649"] Hi, really hope I can get some help on this one. My mac is 2009 or 2010 and is running OSX 10.7.5. It has been a sturdy machine over the years, no real problems, i've kept it clean I think, installed a but of third party software that I probably shouldn't have like burning software and what not. Anyway just these last 4 days, it has suddenly started to lag dramatically. I was working yesterday and it froze out of nowhere, leaving me to force close it down and then the start up screen just sat on the grey screen with the apple logo, I had to start in safe mode (I am not a tech head if I am honest - and wasn't even sure what to do in dafe mode!) I was watching something on youtube yesterday, full screen (black mirror white christmas) and it froze half way through forcing me to abandon the show. The screen just froze as well as the audio. Other things are the colour loading wheel seems to pop up and stay there a lot more now too. I am in safe mode now. There is a 'ding' to the bottom right of the main computer board, where your right hand wrist would normally sit and rest, and what i beieve to be the hard drive cause I can hear it, but sometimes it makes a small creaking noise every couple of rotations. But not all the time. Any ideas on what this could be? I am going to back up all my important stuff now. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
