[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1776946, member: 175845"] Bummer on the HS reinstall, but I've never really found doing so to be a solution for most vague type problems, and yes to your question and something that a local Mac tech guru would often do and suggest. He would also suggest leaving the MAC [B][I]outside[/I][/B] overnight as well as being completely [I][B]unpowered[/B][/I]. Absolutely no real known reason as to why it would often work, but not always 100% either, but no harm in trying. Maybe the damp cooler (often cold) nights up our damper Pacific Coast West area helped any capacitors drain completely and more thoroughly. :D BTW: Have you tried using and booting up in Safe Boot Mode to see if it still does the same thing. If not, I think I'd be inclined to try that first. Next and final step would be to use an external drive and install a basic virgin HS system and boot and try using it and see what happens. Personally, I'm still suspecting some odd software as the cause. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
