I have a Pismo (OS 9.04) that worked fine up to now. Last week, I upgraded it to 9.1 to get it work with an Ethernet router modem. The day after, it begun to freeze after a few hours (2-3 hours) and just before this I heard a slight inaudible metallic sound (somewhat like a bee) for a minute or two. After I got it start again, everything seemed normal, the sound disappeared but it froze 5 minutes later. I tried several other start ups and the freezing become closer and closer up to freeze in the middle of start up (with clock switching on 1904).
At first I believed it to be a software problem and after letting it heat down, I tried the various options (trashing the extensions, PRAM reset, system reinstallation, etc). Every time it started fine until it froze again, and next crash came quicker and quicker, up to getting a blank screen and no sound after five or six start ups. Besides it got terribly hot! Also, last night, it worked fine till a slightly moved my knee (I use it on my knees). Would this not be rather a hardware problem ? Could the first sound I heard come from the ventilator or is it the Hard drive itself ? Help ! Lili -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
