more Freeezelog

5/3/07: I've just timed Firefox at 2 minutes to open a web page - admittedly with a lot of graphics on it. Photoshop and InDesign also running, plus a few smaller progs like iCal and Address Book. I'm sure there is a memory issue - as time goes on opening and closing applications it just gets more and more sluggish. Restarting.



7/3/07: Working in Cubase - several other progs on like InDesign. Clicked an OK box and... freeze. Everything stopped except the mouse pointer. Force Restart.



...and the same again about half an hour later. Force re-start and now running Cubase straight from restart with no other big progs running. No problems so far.



8/3/07: More weirdness. Firefox won't load. Address Book will load but can't be accessed - i.e. click on a field and nothing happens. Everything very sluggish to respond. Restart.



9/3/07: Spinning beachball in the right hand side of the menubar is back, time frozen at 07:34 - i.e. when I 'woke up' the Powerbook this morning (i.e. woke the screen. I still have sleep setting at Never due to 17/2 problem). One of the effects of this problem is I can't print. Restarting Yet Again.



Now PeaceWeek is behind me and the website updating is done, this sick laptop is definitely going in for repair Monday or Tuesday.
