Hi,
have a major issue, don't know what to do. My system has been working great over a year now, did all the updates from SL to Lion, no problems at all.
Been on Lion 10.7.3 for a couple of month, again, no issues whatsoever. All of a sudden, while doing Skype, my system froze. Shutdown, try re-boot, would open everything fine again, at the last moment before all background application would finish loading, it would freeze again, with the message "need to shutdown".
Tried to use my backup copy on another disk, the same story.
Having tried re-booting a few times, at some point it would not even boot anymore. After the apple coming up, it would give a kernel panic and freeze.
Tried to make a clean install on an additional spare HD, the Lion installation would crash and give me a HD error. After re-formatting with Disk Utility, tried to install Lion again. This time it says "Lion cannot install on this disk", even if it is correctly formated.
Tried Rboot cd, also no result. System sometimes would not load or crash just after it was loaded.
I'm no techie, but since the issue can't be with the hard disks, there must be something else wrong, either Motherboard or RAM. Is there anyone that can give me advice?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Joao
