MBP 8,1 (10.9.5) freezes approx. 20 minutes after booting.

If I remove one of the two RAM-modules and the MBP runs with only 2GB of RAM, it seems to work, although all processes are much slower. TC backup is not working and when trying to download Mavericks again, the computer freezes again. The freeze-problem does not occur under 10.6, here the MBP works fine. Any suggestions? Am I facing a RAM-module or HDD-problem here? Or something completely different?

Just to clarify the problem: the system only freezes when both 2GB-RAM-modules are installed. If I run the MBP on only 2GBs (no matter, which one), the system does not freeze.
Here is the report from etrecheck:

  • MX100 freezes a few minutes after boot

    I have had this problem with 2 drives installed on two virtually identical machines.  The motherboard was an Asus P8Z68-V, and the cpu an i5 2500K.  I read this forum and tried the various suggestions, with no more success than many of the rest of you with a similar problem. I am adding this post to describe the simple and effective solution given to me when I phoned Crucial Technical Support. 1. Go to your motherboard manufacturer's site (Asus in my case), and head for the support download area.  2, Identify your motherboard model and locate the appropriate Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) software,  3.Download, install, and run it (a reboot will probably be required).4. Enjoy your awesome Crucial SSD. The RST download will be identified as a RAID program - don't be put off by that.  It is the right module, even if you (like I) are not using RAID.

    Hi, my laptop is a hp pavilion g6 and for the past few days it has been freezing constantly.
    I start up my laptop, everything seems fine, a few minutes later and suddenly nothing works. The curser, keyboard, none of it works. The only way to shut down my laptop when this happens is to hold down the power switch.
    I did have an update (i dont know for what...) before this happened. Whenever i would click in the power options it had "update and restart, update and shutdown" so i updated and now it freezes.
    Restoring to factory setting is a last resort for me. Please help!

  • MBP 15" early 2011 (MacBookPro8,2) - freeze and 3 beeps after normal boot

    Good day.
    Month ago I upgraded memory in my MBP early 2011. I bought 2 banks of 4GB Hynix 1333 Mhz(MBP had 2x2GB Hynix banks), installed them and got the first hard freeze with 3 beeps right on the login screen. Since then I got somethink like 15-20 freezes with intervals from 3-4 hours to 1 week and total silence in logs and diagnostic reports.
    Note: it boots fine, and freeze occurs during work.
    I'm sure it's not a RAM issue because it was tested countless times with AHT, Rember, memtest runned from single user boot, even ASD — all tests passed.
    I tried to reproduce the error using Prime95 stress tests, but with no luck — MBP successfully passed 6 hours stress test under 100% CPU and RAM load.
    Today MBP freezed 2 times with locked screen and without user activity. Any suggestions?
    Additional info:
    dmesg - https://gist.github.com/7d3804d11bef38090345
    latest log entries right before freeze - https://gist.github.com/c66eaa8c3b08c08c6656
    P.S. I'm from Russia, so we don't have AppleCare, only AASPs without needed replacement parts. Also they asks for valid proof of purchase and don't care about Apple ID, serials and stuff.

    yumitsu,
    3 beeps MEANS its a RAM problem or RAM related problem. There is no doubt about this. Make sure RAM is seated properly. Reseat it if necessary. Also make sure that the DIMM slots don't feel loose as a slight jolt is probably enough to dislodge RAM and make your machine expererience these issues.
    Have you tried putting back the original 2 x 2GB RAM that originally shipped with your machine back? If everything starts working normally with the original RAM, then you isolated the issue to the 2 x 4GB Hynix RAM.

  • AT100s Wi-Fi freezes few minutes after booting

    The Wi-Fi tick option freezes on "turning off" by its own. Basically its turning off and freezing while Im using the tablet in any way.
    Also the hardware buttons like volume +&- arent working and the power button wont work unless I force close the tablet by long pressing it.

    In such case I don't think that you can do something to solve this... for me it looks like a serious problem and would recommend visiting the next Toshiba ASP in your country.

  • MacBook Pro freezes every 15 minutes after Mavericks upgrade

    After upgrading to OS X 10.9.3 my computer freezes every 15 or so minutes in the middle of working.  The keyboard and touch pad stop working and the mouse curser disappears.  I'm using Ableton audio software and the audio will continue playing and looping normally but I loose any control to stop the audio or the program and I can not switch windows or even control volume.  The only way to stop it is to hold down the power button and reboot.  When restarting I tried pressing the command option +P +R through 3 whole sequences and still once I begin working again it freezes again.  This has never happened in the 5 or so years of owning this computer and everything worked great while using lion.  Only after installing the new upgrade of OSX did it start to do this.  Any help would be appreciated.  I live far away from any Mac store or Genius Bar.

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
    DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    ☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    ☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Blue Screen of Death every approx 20 minutes after upgrading boot camp

    ** This is a repost from another topic forum-- moving it to correct forum**I upgraded my mac book pro with the recommended updater for Boot Camp 2.1 and quicktime/ITunes. As soon as I did this my computer began to crash with a blue screen of death every 20 minutes or so. It would reboot and say a serious error had occurred and report it to Microsoft. In every other way it was functioning ok, but since it occurred every 20 minutes, I now have erased my boot camp partition and resurrected it from a WinClone file (boy am I glad I backed it up). I've seen a few other people having this problem-- has anyone found a solution? I'm back to boot camp 2.0 and running fine. Amount of ram is 2GB and I'm running service pack 2 of Windows XP professional. Also I have Norton Antivirus on the Windows drive.
    Mark

    So I backed up my boot camp partition using Winclone and then opened up the MacBook Pro with Windows XP as the operating system. I turned off Norton Antivirus (I thought the more basic system would have less potential interactions with other systems) and downloaded bootcamp 2.1 again. Installed it and then restarted and then turned Norton back on (Norton AV has actually been a pretty stable version from my recent experience). My external keyboard is now connected and so far so good-- the computer has not been giving me the BSOD every 20-30 minutes. I remembered from long ago-- on the mac side-- I was always told to turn off virus software before installing any new software-- maybe that's what it needed? I will continue to update.
    I never got a blue screen while downloading updates to windows. I've only gotten BSOD after that initial attempt to install Bootcamp 2.1 with antivirus software turned on. And I'm backed up so I can go back to version 2.0 if necessary.
    Mark:)

  • Mountain Lion freezes (SBBOD) exactly one hour after boot

    Like many others, I experience the SBBOD on my MBP early 2011 with (GB of RAM and plenty of HD space. I upgraded in Sep/Oct, and everything has been running smoothly up until two weeks ago when I first experienced a crash. Now my MBP freezes EXACTLY one hour after boot or reboot.
    I have tried resetting NVRAM/PRAM, ran the HW Test (no errors), repaired permissions, reinstalled OS, cleaned out outdated SW, plugins and prefs, reset the SMC, cleared caches, deleted the Finder prefs, Time Machine prefs and God only knows what else I've tried of tips & tricks I've found after googling this for a week. I'm running Console constantly, but this doesn't make me much wiser. Sometimes it doesn't record the last minutes before a crash, but the only messages that seem to show up fairly consistently lately are these:
    07.02.13 13:39:29,541 apsd[72]: Unable to bootstrap_lookup connection port for 'com.apple.ubd.system-push': Unknown service name
    07.02.13 13:39:46,169 com.apple.quicklook.satellite[200]: bootstrap_look_up2 failed with 0x44c
    I also saw this a little earlier today:
    07.02.13 09:38:56,000 kernel[0]: Got boot device = IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/SATA@1F,2/AppleIntelPchS eriesAHCI/PRT0@0/IOAHCIDevice@0/AppleAHCIDiskDriver/IOAHCIBlockStorageDevice/IOB lockStorageDriver/M4-CT512M4SSD2 Media/IOGUIDPartitionScheme/uten navn@2
    which puzzles me a bit, because I have no volume called "uten navn" (translates to "no name") hooked up to my MBP.
    I'm running Adobe CS5, updated web browsers, Office 2011, Apple Mail/Contacts/Calendar/Messages - but the SBBOD happens in any SW, and also if no SW is opened at all (except Finder). It even happens if I start my Mac in safe mode.
    this is seriously frustrating - so if anyone has any idea what's going on, it would be much appreciated.

    UPDATE:
    Forget it, I found the solution in a dodgy corner of the discussions: a firmware upgrade as described at the bottom of this thread.

  • L355 s7195 freezes several minutes after startup. does not respond to anything. possible faulty fan.

    okay so ive had so many problems with this laptop. i got in auguast and ive had to reformat it twice, the first time was a week after i got it. 
    so a while ago it started this thing where it woudl freeze up 5 or ten minutes after i started it up. I had no idea what was going on, i uninstalled several programs, to see if they were causing it (aim, videogames and such) and nothing worked. finally someone told me it could be because of the system overheating. i listened to his advice and let it sit a couple hours for it to cool off. i turned it back on and it worked fine. i reinstalled everything and it worked fine for about a month.
    a couple days ago i had a windows update, which it kept insisting to restart for. I had to use it for school so i waited till i got home to restart it. actually i just shut it off and i figured it would finish configuring the updates when i turned it on the next morning. I did so and after configuring the updates, it started again. Freezing 5-10 minutes after i turned it on. this was last friday morning. this time i thought i knew what the problem was. i left it off throughout the day and when i got home i took it out and again it froze. the next day i was extremely busy so i didn't even get to check it then. i tried it again sunday, mind you this was after 2 days, and it was still freezing. ive tried it several times the last couple days. now im getting really pissed. I'm about to call toshiba support but i was just wondering if there was some small mistake i was making that i can do to fix this.

    Laptop: Samsung Series 9
    OS: Windows 8.1
    Problem: since booting up my computer today, my cursor will freeze about 30 seconds after boot-up. Prior to this, I'll be able to move my cursor for a few seconds as I normally would, but then I will inevitably see the blue loading circle next to the cursor
    and then my cursor will be frozen in place. I can still use my keyboard/everything else functions regularly. I decided to boot up my computer in safe mode and my cursor works fine. Clearly then, there must be some software/start-up issue? 
    I should note that I used my laptop fine yesterday night. When I booted it up today my cursor froze and I saw the restart prompt that said windows will restart on its own in 1 day to update. So I updated/restarted and the problem persists. 

    Hi,
    Mostly, this issue is caused by third party services or programs conflict problem.
    Please use Clean Boot to troubleshoot:

    In addition, please check and install the mouse driver from the vender official website.

    My MBP with RD's Facetime camera freezes when changing portrait to landscape during facetime calls on the display of the person who i'm calling to, but it shows alright on my side, what's going on?

    Tried restore OSX mountain lion, doesn't work. what should i do?

    kaeandcolesmon,
    If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
    To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
    See:
    Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

  • Why is my MBP Retina 15" continuously crashing and freezing within iPhoto as I flip through my photo albums ?

    Why is my MBP Retina 15" continuously crashing and freezing within iPhoto as I flip through my photo albums ?  This has occured all day now, with about 12 reboots and the problem presists.  Problem started while sharing photos with facebook and now occurs while fipping through all photo albums.  Have had additional problems with continuose freezing up and locking up in many other native and non-native applications, freezing all the time.  This reminds me of window based systems !

    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer.  Repair permissions and restart your computer.  If this works, one of your peripherals is the culprit. Otherwise, you should post in the iPhoto forum area in case your issue is software related rather than the Macbook Pro.

  • Installed new Ram & 10 minutes after startup the computer keeps freezing.

    I have mac book pro from 2006 (1.83ghz)  I recently installed 2 new 1G ram chips from crucial for a total ram of 2G. I am running osx 10.6. and 10 minutes after startup the computer keeps freezing.  Could it be that 10.6 is too much for the processor?

    10.6 is not "too much for" your MBP. You may have gotten a faulty RAM module — it happens.
    Start your machine up while holding down the D key, and when Apple Hardware Test appears, select the Extended Test. Run the extended test at least once all the way through, if you can, and post back with the exact text of any error message it reports.
    If the test can't be completed, you definitely have a hardware problem, and the first suspect is the new RAM. In that case, reinstall the RAM that originally came in your machine and run the extended test again. If it is completed without errors this time, the Crucial RAM is clearly at fault and should be exchanged.

  • Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

    Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
    - I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
    - My outlook express has no problems
    - other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
    - my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
    - every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
    I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

    Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

  • I have been having a lot of problems since downloading the IOS7 on my iPad whereby it freezes for several minutes.  Can anyone help me or is there something I should be doing right away when this happens?

    I have been having lots of problems with my iPad 2 freezing since I downloaded the IOS7.  It freezes for several minutes each time this happens.  Is there something you can suggest that I do to eliminate this problem in the future?

    First thing to try is a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.
