Every few minutes my Pro freezes up, sometimes iTunes will get on that loop, the mouse stops, and then it comes back. I've included the Console Messages.



Specs:
2.66 GHz, 6GB RAM, NV 7300GT, 10.5.5
I think this only started after the .5 update.

Fair enough. If it hasn't been caused by an update then it may be the 8800GT failing.

Edit: Just noticed you have a 7300GT.

Likely a bad graphics card.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?
