OSx Lion runs sort of fine. It had Final Cut Pro X and CS6 all pre installed.
When I first used it, it was super fast. Boot up in 10-15 seconds, apps loaded almost instant. It was great.


Later that day I used Final Cut Pro X 10.0 to do some complex video editing. The back ground rendering was on. The whole system came to a complete freeze. I had to hold the power button.


When I rebooted the OSX took about 1 min to load. Also all apps took a while to load and its now visibly slower consistently.


I have deleted all the cache, the OSX and the apps are all installed on the ssd and there is 76GB free space. There is 12GB available Ram out of the 16GB

Also I do have a time machine backup from when it was running fast. However I have no idea how to bring the whole system back to this state.
Only know how to bring folders/apps etc. not the whole system.

By the way. This also happened to my MacBook Pro 13" 2011. The moment I did something with Final Cut Pro, I expected the mac to struggle as the specs were not great, but ever since, the whole mac has been awful



any ideas

That isn't a Mac Pro. "Hack Pro". Too many possibilities to get a users hackintosh working again. If you got it working the first time I am sure you can figure it out. Unless you wrote down i7 and 3.5GHz in error. Xeon is all that is used (no i7) and 3.33GHz 6-core was the fastest clock so far.

Could be a TRIM problem. Once an ssd is full, even after you delete some files it will still act sluggish. Not sure if it helps to enable trim after the fact though, and you should do a search to see if your model ssd can benefit from this feature. Also insanelymac.com is good for hackintosh specific problems.

Time to go to tonymac.

Your problem is it's an ADATA SSD. ADATA use sub-standard Intel SSD chips in their components, that don't run as expected. Don't ever expect this drive to be reliable.

You can get a decent Intel drive for stupidly low prices these days, avoid ADATA.
