[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1801667, member: 56379"] I'm sure there are things that haven't been tried.:) Exactly...got to know what you're looking at in order to come to the proper conclusions.;) It's possible you may have misinterpeted this suggestion. The suggestion of using an external storage device is not to operate things permanently like this...the external device is used as a temporary diagnostic tool.:) Also...you don't need to purchase an expensive external SSD...just get a cheap external spinner hard drive. Depending on your computers backup strategy...having an external drive can be a must anyway for backups.:) Maybe start off by posting some screenshots of what you're seeing in Activity Montitor. - Nick [/QUOTE]
