Firstly it takes foreverrr or never loads a file from a website I need to load a quiz or something of that nature



Then it isnt burning CDs for some reason



Very randomly it starts processing something in middle of a safari application too, and gets stuck and freezes,



what the hell could be wrong iwth my computer



Someone please be kind enough to ease my frustration here!



thanks!

    Maybe you have a bad hard drive. Safari has to cache stuff to your hard drive when loading pages and has to read from your drive as well as cache data when writing CDs.



    Run Disk Utility and see what it says.



    If that doesn't show anything significant, try cleaning out your system caches using cocktail.

    What is happening with the disc burning, is it failing before it starts writing or during writing? Also what software are you using to do it?

    I am using iTunes



    Its really wierd, it sometimes doesnt start at all saying that burner software not found, and other times while writing, it burns two songs and then takes forever and my computer starts to make some weird sounds



    Appreciate your help

    Thanks
