Late 2009 iMac randomly freezing
Every since i updated to high sierra my iMac has become unusable. It works for about an hour then freezes, and sometimes it doesn't even last that long. I've tried:
- NVRAM
- SMC
- Boot in Safe Mode (works)
- Logged into a guest account (still freezes)
- Reinstalling
- Wiping then reinstalling
- Rolled back to sierra but that was freezing also
And i have nothing on here to backup so i don't need to worry about that at the moment. I have noticed that every time I delete everything from my cache folder it works just fine.
