Try running Apple Hardware Test on the machine (it's one of the discs that came with the machine.) Also, if it's freezing by showing the spinning rainbow cursor (beachballing) you may have a failing hard drive. That wouldn't be uncommon for how old the machine is.

A M-G20010 keeps freezing coil every sevral weeks.

make sure doors close and seal all the way. are the doors being open constantly and in a high humidity area?
Is the set temp too low? How many defrost per 24 hours. Should be 4 and about 20 minutes each cycle.
Start there.
Hope this helps and let me know if I can be of any more help.

Turn it on and stays loading

restart with the shift key down. It will start in safe mode and run a permissions check. It will take a while, maybe 5 or 10 minutes, so go make a coffee. When it opens, then go run disk utility and check your disk. If there are major problems, dont even shut it down, just back up everything that matters.

Dell mini forced shut down, now runs slowly

go to start - accessories - system tools - system restore - choose a date when it was working fine, preferably the earliest date. then wait for it to shut down and restart. you will not lose any saved files or folders, you will only lose programs installed after the date you choose.
