I have two accounts, one is for my work and the other is just purely personal stuff. I had one account logged in and tried to login to the other, and it beach balled I waited 5 minutes and nothing. My HDD (external sata hdd) also started spinning.

At that point I forced shutdown by holding the button down.

Any way to find out why this happened? I didn't even get 'your mac shutdown due to a problem' message
