I am just doing a little spring cleaning (to follow up on a previous post - http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44897)
I opened a .mpg in QT, quite big - 370 mb, and suddenly the computer (think its the hard drive) starts crankin and cruching - sounded painful - the movie stops, as does Itunes, and the cursor spins. Then the fans start going faster than Ive ever heard - sounded like a quite version of a jet engine with nails inside!
I opened the machine, still crunching and left it for 6-7 mins. It finally stopped - and the fans where still going (kind of like a jet engine but without the nails now). the OS came back to life - the movie played and Itunes started again.
I am writing this post about 30 mins after the incident and the fans have only just now slowed back down.
I eperience this quite frequently, and well, what the hell is that????
