Hi,
My system keeps crashing, and it's becoming more frequent.
Each time the only common fault is that "Finder" is not responding. This then means that everything freezes.
This seems to be unrecoverable and I have to force a power-off using the power button.
This is now happening 3-4 times each day.
All help / advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Did you try to repair disk permissions!?
Go to disk utility - Macintosh HD (Where Mac OS is installed) and then click on repair disk permissions
It should help 🙂
Let me know if it does!
Boot from your installer dvd (or an external bootable drive) andf run Disk Utility to repair/verify you drive (not repair permissions).
Thanks,
I'm trying this, I'll let you know if it works.
Used disk utility to verify and repair permissions, seems to have worked, so far. Thanks again.
Well I had the same issue and it worked for me! The issue is resolved.! Tks.
I'm having this problem literally every time I turn my computer on. I'm fully updated and am constantly running disk permissions. Any idea what could be causing this problme?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder/Library. Select Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
