sorry for another topic like that, but does anyone has the slightest idea about this???
my iMac has its disk partitionned into two parts, one with os9 and another with osX; in march, i got a weird problem : at any moment, it crashed and lines of code (like the ones in osX Terminal... a bit similar to DOS if you don't know) were spit up all over the screen, i could see see the background but all those lines of Terminal were obstructing it - and everything was frozen. nothing to do, except reboot the computer savagely.
i remember the code mentioned "apple.com" and "Kernel" a lot of times, and ended by something like "to continue press c, to reboot press r" (of course, pressing the keys weren't doing anything).
so i transfered my files to the os9 partition, reformated the osX part, transfered the files back and it all went fine again.... until now.
last sunday, the problem occured again! so - i did the same thing (transfered my files to the os9 partition, reformated the osX part, transfered the files back)... but while reinstalling my osX files, i found out the problem wasn't solved at all - fucking Terminal lines appeared again!!
i lost hope and didn't touch my computer, until today... i downloaded today Norton Antivirus 9 beta from the official site, scanned my partitions, hoping my disk would be infected, but no!!!
so... well i'm sure lots of you will say "buy a new computer", or "macOS sucks"... but i really don't know what to do, i don't want to try reformating it if it isn't any use =(
do you think it could be a hardware problem? or someone trying to sneak into my computer? or something to do with my provider? or something wrong with os9 that could make osX crash? or am i cursed?

oh, and to add to the confusion - i am waiting for my computer to crash now and take a photo of the screen (can't even take a screenshot since all is frozen when it happens), but it seems to be working fine!!! though i'm sure it will crash again... maybe in a few seconds... maybe tonight... maybe in two months again...
oh and i also had a weird problem occuring sometimes and disappearing like it appeared - the computer would take like 15 minutes to start, and no access would be possible to the internet, no matter what you do if you restart or not, you just have to wait.. ha ha...
this will drive me mad O_O but i wouldn't change my computer to a PC for anything. rather not use any at all.
anyone has any other weird problems to share?
