HI

I seem to be having a problem since the install of Panther, experiencing a slow breakdown where the fonts in the menus begin to glitch, then additional screen artifacts appear, then things freeze and the spinning rainbow appears, ultimately ending in a kernel panic darkening the screen, and telling me to restart.

Any one experiencing the same or have any ideas what could be causing this?

I thought it was Suitcase, but now I am not so sure, since it happened with Suitcase off a couple of times. the time to crash seems to vary and I cannot pin it on any one thing, short of doing a clean install, I do not know what to do, and I have no where to put the 50 gig of data on the drive anyway...

I have a Duel 1 Ghz quicksilver G4, just upgraded to Panther, before, everything was rock solid.

thanks,
