How well does it run when booted from the installation DVD? I would reformat the hard drive using the "write zeros" option, to eliminate any bad blocks, give it one partition, then install a new system.

Is it not possible to fix it without erasing the hard-drive?


My Mac is very slow after awhile. Then I restart and it gets better, but often after a while it goes back to be slow and then eventually also “hangs”/freeze…
