Hi all, I was at my desk, reading a book on my apex, when I heard my mac give the startup chime. It had restarted, just hours after the last time this happened (sometime around 10:00 this morning, and it's now about 7:30). I have repaired disk permissions, and there were no errors. I have reset

Hi, It doesn't seem like a hardware issue to me if you had Windows running without any similar issues. Therefore, I believe that taking it to an Apple Store would be a waste financially. My nearest Apple Store is about a 5 hour drive so its not usually in the cards for us either. It does, th

Good to know, that makes this easier. What happens to my user data, such as apps, app settings, music, and everything else in /applications or the ~/ folders? What I mean is, does this do some sort of in-place install, or does it format the osx partition and reinstall everything? On Nov 5, 2012,

The only thing is: if you want to do a restore instead of a clean install, even of just the Mac side, you want to be sure that whatever is causing the problem just doesn't get reinstalled or set again. So if it were me, I would lean to erasing the Mac partition and clean installing instead of an
