IMac – Why does the iMac freeze since I upgraded to Lion? And how can I fix it

hangimacmacos

My iMac (late 2009) worked great with Snow Leopard. After upgrading to Lion I am loosing the Mac vs. Windows war at home. The iMac freeze except for the mouse. The only thing to do is to restart with the power button. I did a clean install of Lion but that did not help.

Sometimes it happens after I have had the iMac in sleep. It might also be related to showing Flash movies. I have seen other reports on that.

I have basically one of each Apple product out there but this is really taking it's toll. My MacBook Pro and Mac Mini works great with Lion.

Any suggestion?

Here is the output from the Disk Utility. Sorry for the Swedish.

Try running a Disk Permissions repair from Disk Utility. Also, try running a Repair Disk in Disk Utility. Look for any errors in the disk repair and post them here. Take Lion out of the equation, it sounds like a failing hard drive. It's possible that the upgrade brought out underlying symptoms.
