[QUOTE="jgaley1, post: 925176, member: 127015"] my mac did the same thing. it started acting weird when i was running leopard. i would have a moderately small program running and it would act like i was using too much memory and overloading it, and i i'd have to do a hard restart. this happened over and over again, until i rebooted to leopard. then it seemed like everything was back to normal. then i upgraded to snow leopard. gradually, it started doing the same thing (running slow, forcing hard restart). i thought my ram might be bad so i upgraded from 2gb to 4gb of ram. it worked for about 12 hours before referring back to it's old ways. i've tried safe mode, booting without a battery (only with supply), resetting the smc, resetting the pram--every time i do this it will get past the gear screen, but that's it. i need to get this fixed! please help!!!
