Every once in a while I have these phases of crashings.
It began whith the kernel panics, whith no logs.
Then came the spurt of the computer not booting up into osx, it would crash at the grey screen (kernel panic).
After that, it started booting up into os9 instead of osx and while in os9 it didn't recognize the osx volume. Only afterdisk swpping an repare did it work.
Then a couple weeks ago, slowly, my programs started enexpectanly quitting: Aqulite (any version), quicktime 7 pro, mplayer, itunes, installers and even screensavers.
Another nasty effect of this was that it would often causethe screen to become unresponsive and the system would spend over 110% of the CPU time on GUI, the only thing that worked moved was the mouse. Downloads would continue, processes aswell. The only way out of this was to reboot, or to kill the GUI from remotely logged in from my other computer.
After I updated prebindings, optimized the disk, got rid of old apps and tweakers (quite carefully) everything went back to normal.
Yesterday I come back from vacation and itunes quits while i'm ripping a CD, then I get the frozen screen. I reboot and itunes won't launch without quitting. Other apps will quit too, and use up much of the cpu in doing so for a half second, sometime resulting in frozen screen syndrome.
If you have any speculation to offer, or better yet an actual idea as to what might be the cause (or causes), I would greatly appreciate your comment.
Feel free to ask questions!
