Hi forum. I Need some advice.
I have a powermac tower 1.8 ghz 2g ram. Ive ad it for about two years now. Thinking about reformatting the hd. (starting over)
Since ive had it ive never done a defrag or anything. Just straight working on it. It crashes alot after i wake it up or during application loading sometimes.
When i make a dvd from i movie, the picture breaks up at times during playback. Thats why i decided to start over. What sshould i do to reformat or should i?
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanx in advance
