Same problem here. The other day it crashed 3 times in one day. Once it crashed while I was showing someone iTunes. This only started this last week...

I did that when the problems started (it was also slowing down), the computer is running a lot faster but it still crashes just as often, just does if faster.

But did you repair permissions? You said you installed something, and that sometimes changes them -- not always to the better. Use the Disk Utility in your Applications folder, not the CD.

Have you tried creating a new user and logging in on that account? (This would localize the problem to your other user's preferences.)

I have run Repair permissions (and let me tell you, it found a LOT of errors) when my hard drive suddenly became read only for some reason, and DIsk Utility as well. The Mac is running faster, but its still crashing a lot.

I haven't yet tried logging in as a different user though. However, theres no specific thing I do that makes it crash, so its hard to recreate. Sometimes it gets stuck when i click on finder- once it crashed when i clicked on iTunes- and another time with Mail- and once with Safari.

safari 1.2 requires os 10.3 (panther). says apple. that sounds like it might be the problem.

I have had no problems at all up to this point (Have had Jaguar since it came out). Now, after I downloade the latest version of Safari and the OS X update, my computer is crashing several times a day. It only happens when I am cruising the web, regardless of the browser. it locks up my Mac terribly. Nothing responds. Nada!!
