Over the past week or so, I've had some very strange problems with my Hackintosh. The Finder has become unresponsive/crash prone (at seemingly random intervals, I'll open a Finder window and no icons will show up in the field to the right side), I can't get it to restart with Force Quit, then the machine hangs when I try to shut it down. My external SATA Time Machine drive is shown as "incorrectly ejected" a couple times a day (I never want it to eject), and iCal just seems to shut itself off (I'll just notice the icon is no longer illuminated in my Dock). I was also having trouble getting a bunch of webpages to load in Chrome tonight while these Finder issues were going on. I have experience on Hackintoshes going back many years, and nothing like these things has ever happened. My machine's specs are under my username to the left. Any help would be greatly appreciated since I do not want to have to do a clean install. I've never had to do a reinstall of a Mac OS (mostly on real Macs), and I'd hate to start.
