    Start it up in safe mode by holding shift while booting to clear all your caches out. Reboot after that and see if you have the same issues.

    Check the console log in /Applications/Utilities/Console to see if anything is dumping error messages in there and try running a hard drive check with Disk Utility (also in the utilities folder) to see if that's showing any problems.
