[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1636916, member: 56379"] Only if the computer has two problems (HD + video issue). A bad HD wouldn't cause the video issue pictured in the image you posted. Also…upgrading to Snow Leopard has nothing to do with this…it's just coincidence. The situation is (from what I'm reading)…this computer has had a problem for a long time…that's why the owner wasn't using it ("inactivity" was mentioned a few times). Now the owner decided to have it looked at. And all you are doing is "rediscovering" the problems that the owner always knew. You could have been doing what you're doing with OS 10.4 installed the whole time…and the same problems you see now (freezing & video issues) would still be happening. If the HD has been erased, reformatted, and a fresh copy of the OS installed (and these problems continue). Then this computer has hardware issues…that may be too expensive to attempt to repair. - Nick [/QUOTE]
