Hello all!
This is a real head scratcher for me. My system has been working great aside from one thing... It crashes almost any time I open a photo with "Preview", and almost anytime I load an image on any website. The screen just freezes. Sometimes after 5-10 minutes it will go black and then end up at the login screen, other times the only answer is to just do a hard reboot holding down the power button.
Everything else works great. Graphics work fine, can play games on it, watch videos on it, you name it, I can do it. Except looking at photos. I've reinstalled Mavericks several times but this occurs every time. I cannot even begin to imagine what could cause PHOTOS to bring this otherwise powerful system to it's knees.
I don't even know how to begin analyzing this, so any help is much appreciated! I've searched high and low, found a lot of threads about a lot of different crashes and freezes, but nothing really seems to apply/work here!
