Reinstall Mac OS X

After reading some tiger reinstall articles I think I need that too ... And as if my Tiger could feel that it started to behave strangely. The only thing that I feel could be my fault is that I upgraded the RAM from 1GB to 2GB, mainly for Virtual PC, but after that Virtual PC crashed much more often. The current symptoms why I need and will reinstall are the following:

  • Safari crashes sometimes, even when I am not doing anything, sometimes I am just reading and tssst it's gone
  • sometimes the system reaches the state that no application can be started anymore, they all crash and bring up this "do you want to restart" shitty screen ... I have to reboot
  • I even got a you-must-reboot-screen once when I wanted to log on after the computer woke up
  • QuickSilver crashes lately, without a reason
  • Virtual PC crashes without a reason, it never did before
  • my wife's little (12") PowerBook (also with a Tiger-over-Panther installation) turns on the fan too often, even when nothing special is going on

Actually I am quite disappointed by Mac OS X for that. I really had thought: "how cool, I can simply install Tiger over Pather and it works", it kind of did for a while.

So this weekend - reinstall. It can only get better ... I just need to get over this week :-)

Yea. Well. That Rumour that seems to be going round Mac users MINDS "A MAC simply NEVER crashes" isn't entirely true ey? Well personally my PC never crashes whether the fact that I built it myself or I just maintain it and take good care.. I Dunno.. I always thought Its the Quality of the hardware but anyway.. IF u eva get 500 bucks try one out. They AINT That bad I use mine for music production and gaming and its never failed me once even with numourous upgrades; Although I don't recommend it if u've never had experience and don't have any PC friends who can give u good tips but Hey, if ur happy i'm happy. All im'a saying is Don't HATE PC's, It's not their fault, it's usually the users dumb fault. ChOw
