Hi there..this is my first post here. I'm very confused. my dual 1 Ghz G4 tower keeps freezing. It's several times a day and all i can do is power down the computer at the front. When i turn it back on it can be ok but shortly after it will happen again. It doesn't seem to be triggered by any particular piece of software as it freezes during several (safari, word, final cut pro). The mouse seems to be sticking ie it doesn't run smoothly across the screen and will suddenly jump. Could it be a virus? If so how would I go about getting rid of it? i wanted your advice before the desparate wiping everything then reloading it all.
This mac has always had a ridiculously loud fan. (mac sent me a new fan for me to replace cos i believe this model was problematic. i did that and it seemed very similar - this was a couple of years ago) I've had the comp for several years (4 i guess).
I've tried disk repair (inc from the install disc) and using spring cleaner to clear cache and all..
Any advice...please....i am a little scared.
thanks,
stuart
