Existing users, 
Installed it on my Powerbook. Upon restart the computer froze after about a minute of use. I restarted three more times with the same result. I also noticed an odd clicking sound during start-up and during the brief period the computer worked. I tried to reinstall from my original Leopard disk, but the installation disk failed. Attempted running disk utilities from the installation disk, but that failed as well. Now after a long start up wait, the computer just goes black and shuts itself off.
This is a disaster. Apple must respond - but how???? The computer won't boot.
Apple Mac OS X
Snow Leopard operating system.
Version: 10.6.2

Thanks for the tragic heads up ...But isn't it a little odd that it happened right after the update?

Yes, it's an odd coincidence, but they happen. And I concur that what you're describing sounds exactly like a hardware failure--most likely hard drive--not something caused by the update.Did you try running Disk Utility from the Leopard install disc and see if it shows the drive's SMART status as failing? If it does, then it's unquestionably a hardware issue.
On the topic of coincidences, if you don't often restart your Mac the reboot due to an OS update can expose problems you hadn't noticed previously. Could also just be really bad luck.

The clicking sound and the freezes may mean the hard drive is bad. I had the same clicking and it was the hard driveReply to This
