Mac freezes every few minutes, video freeze, slow boot,
My Mac was running on 10.10 and suddenly out of nowhere it started to hang with the spinning wheel appearing every few minutes. In the meanwhile I got the 10.10.4 update which I installed hoping it would solve the issue but apparently not. It is almost impossible to use: everything freezers, even opening web pages on chrome takes time and the time taken to reboot is just too much.
I tried a few things: Running disk repair, conducted AHT where no hardware errors were found, reset PRAM, removed itunes from login items. But none of these have helped. I am pasting below the Etre check report hoping someone is able to tell me what I can do. Thanks!!
