Default Imac Fusion Drive, Adobe, Help!

At the end of March I bought a 27 inch iMac with 16 GB of memory, 3.4GHz
Intel Core i7 processor. It has a 3 TB fusion drive. I am running Mountain
Lion (10.8.4)

Since I bought this machine there have been occasions (about every 10 days
to 2 weeks) when the clock stops. To restart it, I have to reboot.

More seriously, on several occasions I have had the system freeze and I have
had difficulty getting the system to quit. It takes several tries and
several methods. Last time it happened, I got a dialogue stating that the
startup drive was full and which open programs did I want to close. All that
was open was a game of solitaire, my Mail account and the Finder. After I
finally got it shut down it wouldn't reboot. After waiting about 1/2 hour I
tried again. No luck. So, when all else fails I pulled the plug and the
machine spontaneously rebooted on its own.

We took the machine into the Apple store as it is still under warranty and
had a complete diagnostic done. After two days of testing the answer my
technician and I got is that it is a Adobe glitch and that Adobe knows that
a patch is required. They claim the problem is between the fusion drive and
Creative Suite. After you have used one of the programs the startup drive
doesn't clear.


Fusion drive's functionality should be completely transparent to
applications.
