Lock-ups on 7day old MBP

Ive been having issues since day 1 with my 2.4ghz C2D 17"MBP with highres screen...
Ive used fan-control software to put my fans up to there max speed with the lowest temp thresholds, but, im still having problems.
Under Windows XP (bootcamp) when I play Eve:Online for more than 10mins it will lock the laptop up solid, forcing me to hold down the power button to the the machine to shut down.
Having googled, it appears to be a heat related problem and I could buy something like a Coolermaster NotePalW1 to help keep it cool. Anyone got any other suggestions of things i can try to see if its a hardware or software problem?
Thanks, Darryn.
17" MBP, 24"iMac, Macpro (4x2.66) Mac OS X (10.4.10)

In order to isolate the cause of these lock downs it is going to be necessary for you to backup your data first. Please let us know when this is done, and we can proceed?

Lock ups, beach balling 13" MBP

I go a new 13 inch MBP. Sometimes it locks up and i get the spinning beach ball for 10/15 seconds.
Anybody else with this problem??
Thanks

MBP13 - first lock-ups, now not even booting anymore

hi everyone,
after last weeks itunes update (could be coincidence) i have experienced some lock-ups when using my mbp. first for only a few seconds, but they grew longer and longer to the point, where it was unusable.
now it won't even boot. i get the startup sound, then the white apple screen for 30 mins. and then the light blue screen for about 4hrs (i shut it off after that).
does anyone else have this problem? any help is appreciated.
oh, running on 10.6.1 with all the latest updates installed.
thanks
frank

thanks for the reply.
i've tried the disc repair. failed.
it couldn't repair the drive in three tries and suggested to back up my data (which i can not do) and install 10.6 from scratch.
will do this later. but ****, my last back up is a few days old.
any idea what could have caused this? drive hardware?

Can I use both newly cloned MBPR retina and old-MBP with same Time Machine

When my new-MBPR retina cloned from the old-MBP back up in Time Machine via migration assistance, will this newly-cloned MBPR continue thereon backing up with the same old-MBP back up in Time Machine? I.e. continuing same timeline?
And what happen to my old-MBP back up, if I continuing to use my old-MBP with the same Time Machine on? Will TM recognised 2 different MBP and thus creating 2 back ups? I seem to have problem to keep 2 MBP running with same TM. Programs not responding even force quitting them!
And what should I do to use both? Appreciate your help. Thank you.

OK, but in general I can use this one device as both file storage and Time Machine.
I thought that (for some reason) once I set up the Time Capsule to act just as Time Machine storage I would be unable to access it as a plain file storage.
I have just tested it now, and it seems it can work as both - file storage and Time Machine. I can see the Time Machine backup file on it and folders where I can dump regular files.
The only thing I would need to occasionally do is delete some old backups to keep Time Machine segment below 1 TB just so I have plenty of space for regular files.
This thing is awesome. :)

K8n neo2 platinum lock-ups

Hello everyone, well here is the deal, I ust built yesterday my first amd64 system, specs are as follows:
amd athlon 64 3200+ Clawhammer
512mb ddr400 (single stick)
120gb sata drive
1 dvd unit, 1 dvd-ram unit
geforce 3 ti 500 (i know, i have to replace it)
soundblaster live! 24-bit
stock case psu
Before that, i had the same config but with an athlon xp 2600 + witch an msi k7n2 delta2, it worked fine. But this one, as soon as i start gaming the game will randomly slow down to a crawl and then lock-up the pc... I used to have this same problem with a kt4v which i replaced thinking it was gone bad, though i did notice on that board the 3.3v line was quite faulty, well same thing is happening here, at least i think
If i leave Corecell opened while gaming, the game will suddelny minimize, corecell will pop-up with an alarm and show about 2.8-29v on the 3.30v line... now before i go out and spend some money on a new psu, I need to know if this could be it ? or could it be the old gf3 acting up?
As i said, this same thing used to happen to me with an old kt4v paired with my old athlon xp 2600+, it stopped happening when i switched to the k7n2 delta2 but here it is back again...
help please!

Well I´m back, meaning that my lock-ups are back
Although this time I think they're not voltage - psu based... all my voltages are on their normal conditions, temps are doing just fine, I can even game with no issues, the problem is my computer is randomly locking-up
I have read and re-read this post, Because I am having the same symptoms as this guy did, just random lock-ups , no time interval, the conditions cannot be reproduced , so Im guessing its either
a) hardware
b) bios settings/bios
More info: I upgraded my bios to syar's moded 1.A, turns out I'm running on a Venice 3200+ (not clawhammer as I stated before) ... Cnq is disabled, so is spread spectrum, so is aggresive timings, no dynamic overclocking, no fast writes, no sideband addresing, memory timings are at the manufacturer's specs, no overclocking whatsoever, fsb 200*10 , htt 5x...
Just so u know, the computer has been powered on for the last couple of nights downloading and It runs fine idling, but when i start surfing, or doing whatever it will lock up on a random time/condition basis (it hasnt locked up yet while gaming though)

Help with Video camera lock ups on K7N2 delta

hi everyone,
finally got new computer working after formatting and reinstalling windows and the bare minimum of software.
but a small problem arose after drivers from supplied CD Rom installed my Sony DV camera locks up.
i haven't even installed any video editing software yet.
before installing drivers, when i double clicked the camera icon in my computer it gave me access to the camera i.e i could press play on the camera and view it on the computer.
now since the drivers have been installed the message that i get is 'please wait while device initializes'.
then 'program not responding' is displayed.
my configuration is
K7N2 delta
AMD XP2000+
crucial 512mb PC2700
Radeon 9200
belkin firewire card
trust V92 modem
any help would be much appreciated as the new computer sole purpose is to video edit.
cheers everyone

I have the same problem and have a very old MoBo 266Pro board, I have a different camera it's a Samsung dp-s103 or something like that, whenever I try to capture some movie the program lock ups and I have to =restart the PC. I tried taking out the PCI cards and left only the firewire PCI card I was able to capture about 16 minutes of video, but it still locks up. I will try the latency patch and a bios upgrade. Will then see how everything turns up. I've also tried this on an old computer with an Intel chipset, 733Mhz processor and it worked fine, so this must be either a chipset problem or MSI didn't manufacture these board well.
Best regards
PS. I think that my new system will be a pure intel one :(

Pages '08 lock ups

A couple months ago, I started having issues with Pages '08. It would lock up while I was typing, or even something as simple as scrolling the page down. All I would get was the little rainbow wheel and a locked up document. At first I thought it was just the one file I was working on, but now it happens all the time. It locks up so bad sometimes that it forces a restart of the computer. No other programs are having this issue. Should i just reinstall Pages '08 from the disc or what. Cause this has made my main wordprocessing program completely useless. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8

Update:
Well I think I got it figured out. For some reason, the spell checker was causing the problem. I've always had it set to "Check spelling as you type", but for some reason that is now causing Pages to lock up. So my work around is to simply turn off the "Check Spelling as you type" option, and now there are no more lock ups.

Terca 9100 lock ups

Hi!
I recently got my hands on a second hand tecra 9100. I got it free since the previous owner complained about random lock ups or freezes. As i've testaed the laptop myself i experienced this aswell. It can freeze just about anytime but i've never had it running flawlessly for more than 20 minutes i recon. Sometimes it also refuses to start up. I do not know if this is a lock up in the initial startup sequence.
Anyway it will lock up even in bios and i have dissassembled it and put it back together, replaced the RTC battery (with a non rechargable) and removed any hardware not crucial for useage (i.e WiFi card, extra RAm modules, modem card).
I'm clueless, anyone got any idea of what to try next?
Regards Simon

I think you cant fix it by yourself
In your case the ASP should check the notebook and if necessary replace the faulty part/device.

R835 P56X lock ups

From day 1 (purchased a month ago) I'm still having lock ups with this laptop! After few hours of use the screen goes black (sometimes blue), if I try to revive it the fan kicks in at full speed sounding like a leaf blower!
I've reinstalled Win7 with the latest drivers, installed a new SSD instead of the HD and this problem keeps re-occuring randomly (daily)!
I certainly would appreciate any ideas!

I replaced my HDD with a OCZ Vertex 3 SSD for my R835-P56x. It boot in seconds and runs nice and fast, but I get lock-ups and BSOD after several hours (as described above). Not sure if it had the problem with the HDD, because I didnt use the PC very long before upgrading. I am also running a 800MB Dataram RAM Disk (Version 3.5.130) for browser cache, which I suspect could be the culprit. My bios is 3.90 (7/31/2012).
Portege R835-P56x, i5 2410M, 16GB RAM, Vertex 3 SSD 240GB.

Crashes and Lock-ups

I have been experiencing crashes and lock-ups in Premiere CS4.
Last week I was running Encore to burn a DVD and when I noticed the processor was running flat out. I decided to run Core Temp to check the temperatures. At that point my encoding stopped and Encore locked up.
Now I usually have Core Temp start when I load Windows. I have now disabled it and when I ran Premiere last night guess what? No lock-ups. Now this is early days but I suspect Core Temp might be the problem. I hope so. I'll report back with my findings when I have had more time to experiment.
PS I'm running Windows XP SP3, Quad Core 6600 and 4Gb RAM
Cheers,
Tim

Lock ups XF-I and X1900

Hi I am running
EVGA 33-K8-NF4-AX with the latest Bios
Radeon x900xtx
2 gig OCZ 2-3-2-5 ram
Antec true power 2.0 550watt PS
Sony 80a Dvd burner
70 gig raptor sata dri've
300 gig seagate sata 3 dri've
Sound Blaster Xf-I extreme music
Windows XP SP2
I get random lock ups under any D3D or OpenGL game as long as im on the desktop my sounds function without an issue. Previously I had been using a EVGA 7800 gt with no problems. Under the 7800 gt I did not have any lock u
ps.
Before installing the Radeon x900xtx I did a format of the dri've and a clean install of windows xp with SP2. I have tried catalyst 6.4 and the lock ups were very frequent in catalyst 6.3 they are less frequent and more random. I have upgraded to the latest drivers for every other component on my pc. I posted this here and also I have sent in a ticket to ATI because if I remove the XF-I and go with the real tek 8 channel onboard sound all of the lock ups disapear. When the XF-I is in the pc and it locks up it goes into a sound stutter at random times in any D3D or OpenGL game

I don't think so, Lion with the latest updates is running fine for most of us.
Post the log for your next lockup or the previous one if you can isolate the timeframe.

I am getting frequent lock-ups and blue screens during boot up. The lock ups occur during normal use and I cannot click anything or force quit. The cursor shows something is loading, but never stops. I have to use power button. Ideas?

I had the Mac Defender malware and I have used apple jack but still having issues.

Total lock-ups with fan running - translate system.log file please!?

Hi, all. My late 2005 2.3 gig dual G5 has been experiencing random lock ups for as long as I can remember. My system is up to date and I have tested each pair of the 5 gigs of ram that I have and the system freezes with each pair. It can happen at any time, when I am doing absolutely nothing, for example, overnight. I am at my wits end!
Here's the system log file for the latest freezes. Can anyone tell me what's going on here??? I really need to get to the root of this problem. Thanks so so much in advance.

Hi-
The machine seems to be having trouble with loading certain drivers, but, as this isn't a crash log, and doesn't show the "hang-up" or freeze, it's hard to tell.
Noted possibilities are:
-Microsoft keyboard (possible USB power problem)
-firmtek driver (from archive) questionable due to the "archive" annotation
-Wacom tablet driver, causing system problems
Running in Safe mode without freezes would help to determine if one of these drivers is the problem.
Other possibilities are outdated drivers, or simply a need to reinstall the OS.
If unnecessary, removing the driver(s) would be a good idea.
External USB and Firewire devices are all suspect, should all be disconnected, revert to Apple keyboard, and test system performance. Adding one device at a time, and testing each will be necessary to clear each device.
I have experienced system trouble when a Wacom tablet was not connected, but the driver was left installed.
Disabling the driver from Startup items may be necessary to test without the Wacom tablet connected.

Leopard lock ups.....

HI, I thought i might share this with you if you are having lock ups in leopard on a G5 with an ATI X800XT graphics card. I have a G5 2.7 with a fresh install of leopard and with the aforementioned card and was getting constant lock ups which resulted in me having to hard power down constantly.Also you could hear the cards fan revving quite a lot as well. If you go into system prefs and set colours to thousands in stead of millions then the constant locking up will stop. ATI and apple need to address this ASAP! But for now its a workaround. Hope this helps

I assume you tried all teh usual voodoo - reset NVRAM, performed AHT etc?
If you need a working system then I'd suggest you restore back to Tiger from your backups and then call Apple.
You could install a small Leopard test partition and have them walk you through troubleshooting steps.
It may be a Leopard driver issue or could be that your system has a real hardware problem.
Good Luck.

System lock ups

lately i've been having a lot of system lockup problms.. you know the ones where that spinning rainbow balls shows up on the screen. you know i never had a problm running adiumx firefox and itunes at the same time, but lately i don't know if its the updates or what, but i'm getting a lot of lock ups, to the point where i can't play videos on itunes, or quicktime without it freaking out and freezing every couple seconds, or when trying to load firefox it take 10 15 secs, and then forever to actually get to a webpage, i do notice when i turn of growl i don't have as many problms, any suggestions.
powerbook g4
mac os x 10.4.8
1ghz processor
512mb ddr sdram
80 gig hd
dvd/cd-rw
got all the latest mac updates, and updates of most of the softwares i have on this computer
12" in powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

teckie:
RAM can very likely be a part of your issue. If your 12" PB is one of the last 3 models it came with 256 MB of RAM. Considering the issues you are having you should consider maxxing it out to 1.25 GB.
ali b. mentioned your HDD. If your HDD has less than 10-20% free space it can contribute to the issue you are experiencing. It also increases the risk of directory issues, consequent data loss and even a crashing HDD.
Thirdly, I am not sure what maintenance procedures you use. But you should consider at least running Unix Maintenance scripts using a utility like MacJanitor, and doing Directory repairs and replacement with a utility like Disk Warrior. In addition, if you have not booted from your install disk and run Repair Disk recently, I suggest you do so.
Take a look at Gulliver's article on Mac OS X Maintenance for some very helpful tips and resources: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
Post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.
