Just dont know you can try wiping (re initialize) the HD and 
reinstalling the OS and stop at 10.2 and see if that solves it.  But i 
suspect you may have a hardware problem. If you have techtool pro its 
now up to Ver. 3.9 run diagnostics on your hardware - otherwise if 
these dont solve it take it to be repaired - looked at.
