I've started having trouble with my trusty early 2008 3,1 MacPro, 10GB RAM dual 2.8GHz, four year old ATI Radeon HD 5870, bunch of drives. It runs the latest 10.6 version snow leopard as its the machine I use to run DVDSP, on those rare occasions I need to make a DVD. I have one 21 inch Apple monitor attached. So its not my main machine, but would like to get it going again.
It boots up fine but after running a few minutes apps won't open up (beach ball), but finder seems to be working...
2008 3,1 Beach ball after ~5 minutes
