Lately I've been having the following symptoms:
* When running a Webkit browser (Safari, Omniweb), or playing a movie in Quicktime, the entire user interface hangs. The mouse pointer moves, but no UI element responds.
- I can still SSH into the machine, but attempting to quit, or even force quit (kill -9) UI processes just makes them drop into the suspended mode with parentheses, e.g.
(Safari)
I have done the following troubleshooting:
- wiped the drive and reinstalled 10.4.5 from the original discs
- after the above, updated to 10.4.7 and Quicktime 7.1.2.
- run Apple Hardware Test
- launched the apps from a different user
yet the problem persits.
Has anyone else suffered this, or have a clue of how to go about troubleshooting it?
