iMac Freeze During Startup - Fine After Reset
I am not running SL on it yet, though I have SL on an external HD. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I know of only one or two others. I run regular system maintenance and that has not cleared up the issue. It was suggested it might be a HD problem but all tests show my HD to be okay and my system stable. I've not had any other issues and am otherwise happy with my iMac. I run Onyx's automated functions about once a week so permissions and other whatnots should be okay. Any ideas? It seems like something off with the OS, not the iMac, or perhaps a combo of the iMac and the OS. I just ordered DiskWarrior 4 so we'll see if running that helps things (will upgrade to 4.2 when I get it).
Thoughts?
