Are you saying it freezes at the same time each day? What apps are you using at the time?

 

[eriX]

Not at the same time, one time every day just one time and then when i reset it works fine. I am confused

I need help please I am so tired to reboot my mac every day I tried everything except resintalling the OS I have tiger 10.4.10 The question is what kind of sowftare or hardware can cause this. Please Help

Well, it really could be anything at this stage... Try booting into Safe Mode by holding SHIFT at startup. Does it freeze when running from Safe Mode?

I've had some trouble on a G4 also. One was that Safari 3 would sometimes lock up and stay stuck in the dock until I restarted.

Another was related to a large music library in iTunes, which kept eating swap-space, until it filled the hard-drive and froze my Mac. Are you perhaps suffering from lack of disk-space?

 

[mad jew]

Safari 3 is still a beta so you can't really complain too much about it freezing... However the disk space thing could be an issue. Make sure you keep about 8GB of free space available on the boot drive at all times, if possible.

I don´t use safari and i have 72 GB Free Space I have a Barracuda 320 GB in 3 diferent partitions First one is for OS.

Okay, I was referring to Vinnie_vw's post. eriX, did you try Safe Mode? Is the 72GB of free space on your boot partition or on the drive as a whole?

 

[eriX]

72 GB Free in partition for OS but i have more than that for another ones.
cheers!

I hate Macs Now, I can´t work. My old and slow PC was more stable baaah!

 

[mad jew]

Keep your pants on. Did you try booting into Safe Mode by holding SHIFT at startup? That's often a good way of seeing if the problem might be software-based.

I agree with mad jew try safe mode first, Then complain. Also what apps are you running at the time of the freeze.
