Intel iMac Leopard Freezing question
Hey all....my gf is having some iMac freezing up issues.
Background: Intel iMac > upgraded to Leopard > HD recently went wacky (bad nodes, stopped recognizing) > wiped and reinstalled Tiger > upgraded to Leopard
It worked like a champ for about a week. Now it likes to give a spinning beach ball after pretty much every click or action.
Any ideas? Spotlight issue? HD still fuxxored?
Thanks!

Yeah, it sounds like the HD is failing here. Leopard has a tendency to ruin them with its psychotic power-management "features."

Re: Intel iMac Leopard Freezing question
I have been having a rather similar issue; it turned out that my RAM needed to be reseated, as it was slightly kinda loose. I would also try installing Leopard directly, instead of installing Tiger first, then upgrading, as something could be going ever-so-slightly wrong with the upgrade. If not, then I hope you are still covered by AppleCare.
