[QUOTE="rws762, post: 1418585, member: 133640"] at this point I'm willing to try anything. Last week I did a complete erase and reinstall of Snow Leopard followed by a complete Time Machine restore; this seemed to get rid of problems for a day. Last night I simply reinstalled Snow Leopard over top of the existing install upon advice of someone else, this helped a few hours or maybe it was a coincidence. This problem has been developing over the last month and a half, it started out only freezing once a day, now it's intolerable. I do have a complete Time Machine backup as well as a Carbonite backup. Would it make any difference if I just reinstalled Snow Leopard after erasing the HD, then installing only the apps I want, then finally restoring only my user files/documents? All the hardware tests I have ran say my HW is OK, would taking it in to an authorized repair shop show anything different? [/QUOTE]
