Mac freezes completely when opening preferences, some e-mail attachments, full-screen viewing of films, tv, etc. Been through the official help process but no change! Please help. Many thanks.

What happens when it freezes?
Does it get the beachball for minutes and then get the control back?
Do the applications crash?
Does the Mac shut down?

How much empty space do you have on your hard drive?
And how much total space on it?

What is the version of Mac OS X that is installed?

When did this start to happen?

Is that 1 GB RAM the same that came installed on that computer?

What have you done previously in the search of the cause?
