[QUOTE="hamnickel, post: 1837707, member: 403641"] Shame on me! The first I tried to reboot with the SSD the computer didn't reboot (it turned off instead). I turned it on and thought it was booting from the SSD since I selected it as the startup disk on System Preferences. I tried again and the system actually restarted this time. Now I'm really running from the external SSD -- thanks @ferrarr and @pm-r :) As far as I tested it seems like a new computer. The problem was almost definitely the mechanical HD inside it. Thanks everyone for all the help and tips you gave me! I hope to open this guy and update it with an internal SSD and 2x8GB of RAM. [/QUOTE]
