My Macbook Pro Freezes after RAM Upgrade

I have a newly purchased macbook pro that came with lion, MC700, with 4GB of ram Default. I purchased CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 from newegg to give me 8GB of ram. After installing the RAM, if i use the macbook for extneded periods of time the screen will hardlock, graphics artifacting is seen on screen and it beeps, causing me to hard shut down the unit. This is most noticeable when using Youtube HD or watching a DVD movie. I ran apple hardware diagnostics and it says everything is fine, I also ran memtest overnight with no errors. Thinking this might be a corrupt lion install i reinstalled clean and still get the issue. I bootcamped windows 7 x64 onto the unit and it will BSOD and hardlock just like lion would. I used the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool and it said no errors. My return time has expired for both the macbook (purchased at a best buy) and the RAM (from newegg). I know i can contact corsair but I dont know if that will even help, any ideas? My system is up to date with the newest updates as well.

I forgot to put that in the OP, when putting back the 4gb stock it works fine, but doesnt solve my issue. THe ram tests fine, is the MBP just that picky? I know i can RMA with corsair but there really isnt anything wrong with said ram its like its overheating when the new ram is put in

Brand new Macbook Pro freezes after iTunes-update??

Updated itunes to 10.5.1 last night and now itunes and my brand new Macbook Pro freezes whenever I open iTunes. I got it last week and it has worked perfectly, but now it freezes and has trouble finding the wifi. What to do?? Can I somehow undo the update?

Is this Java based game Runescape? I experience the same crashes, ive tried using other things in-game other than the OpenGl and i still experience crashes, much more often when i have iTunes running while trying to play. Ive never had problems like this before, even while using older computers with much less memory, etc.. This is my first mac and id have to say it's not leaving a good impression. I planned to be able to play some games on this and consider Runescape requires very low CPU this is kind of sad that a Mac can't process it without crashing. Ive been reading lots of similar posts online and it sounds like Apple should be worried more about customer satisfaction than their own stocks. Hope something works out soon!!

Macbook Pro freezes after upgrade to WD 1TB (WDC WD10TPVT-00HT5T1)

Hi All,
I upgraded my Macbook Pro to 1TB of sweet space. I choose to upgrade to Western Digital 1 TB. Got it from Amazon and following are the drive details:
Capacity: 1 TB (1,000,204,886,016 bytes)
Model: WDC WD10TPVT-00HT5T1
Revision: 01.01A01
Upgrade was simple enough as the steps are well documented on multiple sites. I chose to install fresh copy of Mac OS from Install DVD. I migrated applications and documents using MacOS Install System Wizard. Everything went fine and I started enjoying this massive space available at my disposal.
Problem started happening when my laptop freezes regularly (every 30 minutes or so). It recovers after 30 secs period. I went through multiple discussions but could not find any mention of it. All 1TB owners are happy and never reported this problem. I started digging in OS logs and found following log:

Next time when my laptop froze, I found same line is system log. I decided to run SMART tests on my drive. It reported SMART is disabled on my new drive.
I enabled it using following commands:

I am still facing the same freezing problems. I tried running some SMART tests and here is the output:

I then tried Smart Utility and I ran short tests using it. It got stuck and I had to cancel the test. I got following message in system log.

Is somebody else experiencing this issue? I will be really thankful if somebody can help me to figure out the problem and potential solution.
Thanks

No idea what's wrong with your drive, but the best thing to do is to bug Western Digital about it. Be sure to have the serial number when you call. they can help you to troubleshoot it, and if they determine it is faulty, they should replace it under warranty.
I've not heard of this kind of problem before. How did you format it?
If this drive has the built-in shock guard technology, there may be a conflict with Apple's built in Sudden Motion Sensor. If so, you can disable the Sudden Motion Sensor and see if this helps:

Good luck!

Macbook Pro freezes after installing new 4GB of Ram

So I have a 15" macbook pro (2.4Ghz) that I've had for a few months. It's been pretty good so far, but I've been using it for Ram-intensive programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, as well as Logic. I only had the 2GB of Ram that it came with, and I was noticing some latency. So I did what everyone recommended and upgraded the Ram to 4GB. I purchased some at my local computer shop (s598: Super Talent 4GB SODIMM DDR3 1066Mhz) I just posted the exact numbers posted on the packaging for this item. I know I need DDR3 1066Mhz, but I'm not sure what the S598 stands for.......
Anyhow, I just installed this today. And it seems that the system doesn't get bogged down AS much. But my laptop has COMPLETELY frozen up twice within a couple hours and I've had to force shutdown the machine... Is this the RAM causing this?? Would anyone know if installing this Ram can be problematic? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

All of the new unibody MBs/MBPs can use (6GB 4X2GB)
But yes you should definitely make sure the RAM is seated correctly and you didn't touch the gold part of the RAM during installation. Though if something was seriously wrong it would have made loud obnoxious sounds while you tried to start up.
Aside from Installation issues, you should reset the PRAM as noted previously. Hold down command-option-p-r at startup until it chimes twice.
OP, looking at Super Talent's website they don't even have 1066MHz chips listed in their DDR3 chips. All I see is a jump from 800MHz (DDR2) to 1333MHz (DDR3).
Either way, I can't imagine you got that great a deal for the RAM that even if it is seemingly the correct RAM you can get better deals in the links I posted in my other post.

MacBook Pro Freezing After Screen Replacement

I recently took my MBP in to get the screen replaced due to a screen separation issue. When I got it back it froze every now and then, but it kept continuing. Everytime I restart the computer after a freeze it will freeze up sooner and sooner. At first I thought it was a RAM issue since it particularly did it while watching videos, so I bought new RAM and it continued to freeze. Tested the new and the old RAM, but they were fine. I took it to the Genius Bar and the guy said it was a failing harddrive. Got a new harddrive upgraded to Lion and it is still freezing. I asked if something could have gone wrong when the screen was replaced and he assured me no and even if something had gone wrong they wouldn't cover it unless the actual screen was broken.
If I leave the computer off for a day it will take about 30 min before the 1st freeze, then after restart about 15 min, then 10 min, then 5 min until it will only log in then freeze.
Any guesses as to what could be causing the freezing and if it would be worth fixing as this MBP needs a new battery, a new drive (since the drive is on loan), and has the flickering screen issue?
Late 2008 MacBook Pro
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
Out of warrenty
Screen Replaced Jan 8, 2012

Thanks for the reply. As an update, I took it into the Apple store again and it froze while they were trying to run the test. This time the guy said it was covered by the repair warrenty. After 2 weeks without a computer because something was wrong with the graphics cards they called me back and said they were just going to give me a late 2011 mid-range MBP. So I currently have a brand new MBP with no issues
Yeah... 3.5 years and they just release that fix for flickering screens. I hope it works for everyone. I know some people had some major issues with it.

MacBook Pro freezes after clicking 'Shut Down' and won't remember 9600M GT

After choosing 'Shut Down' from the Apple menu my MacBook Pro (1998, 5,1 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) freezes and the Grey Screen of Death appears.
Strangely this only happens when I'm using the lower-power GeForce 9400M graphics card. When I use the high-performance NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT graphics card my MacBook Pro wil shut down normally.
Ever since upgrading my system to Mac OS X 10.6.3 this problem occurs. But since then also other problems arose. After installing Safari 5 my MacBook didn't boot, and I had to zap the PRAM to get the system booting again. Since then my system won't save the 9600M GT setting in the Energy Saving panel. I can logout from the 9600M and login to the 9600M GT, but after a reboot it switches back to the 9600M card.
Today I did a combo update to Mac OS X 10.6.4, but all the problems still occur. Also I did maintenance tasks with 'Cocktail' and 'Maintenance', but that didn't help either.
Also sometimes after choosing the GeForce 9600M GT graphics card, OS X logs out and hangs in the blue screen instead of displaying the login screen.
I hope someone can help me out with this!

Unfortunately the problem reoccured, alltought less. The last weeks my MacBook froze two times.
The report I send to Apple contains the following:
... Sat Jul 17 12:42:23 2010
panic(cpu 1 caller 0x124fc5b): "AGC GPU REGISTER RESTORE FAILED : rdar://7254528"@/SourceCache/AppleGraphicsControl/AppleGraphicsControl-2.8.63/k ext/AGCPowerManagement.cpp:849
Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address (4 potential args on stack)...
Anyone a clue how to solve this problem? Thanks!

MacBook not booting after RAM upgrade

I'm sorry if the case has been already posted.
Yesterday I took my MacBook Alu unibody late 2008 to a RAM upgrade (from 2 to 4gigs) to an offical Mac Reseller. They installed it and showed me that the system loads properly and recognized the new RAM.
I took it home, started working on After Effects and Photoshop and when i wanted to check a video on Quicktime, this program refused to boot.
Then photoshop freeze and after effects did so. I quited all aplications and restarted. On restart after the 'bong' i've got the grey screen white an apple logo and a loading bar underneath, that was it, it never finished loading but shutting down.
After the 2nd try the computer gave me the BAD RAM alarm signal right before the start button was pressed and nothing more. I just managed to start it ONCE on safe mode, but this one also freezed and colapsed.
Today i didn't get the BAD ram alarm but the grey screen and loading bar after shutting down.
I took it back to the reseler, the shop boss who did the upgrade wasn't there , the guys on the morning shift placed the old RAM back resulting the same. So they told me it's a software problem, not hardware and might be caused by a failed firmware update or something i did wrong and since i was showed that the system booted after the upgrade i can't complain or argue that they did somethiing wrong.
So basically the want 80euros to check what's wrong with my computer plus the 120 i already payed them for a RAM that doesn't work and of course the repair cost of the computer.
On monday i'll go to talk to the boss, what do you guys recomend me to tell him? i'm frustrated that the guys there treat me like if i broke my computer for beeing stupid and wanted to get it fixed for free, when it clearly broke after they did something wrong on it!
please advice me!
thanks!

What brand is the RAM? From what you said, it is obvious that the RAM is at fault. I would simply tell them that it is not compatible and return the RAM.
Check the System Profiler to see what it says about the RAM (Apple Logo - About this Mac - More Info) and run this application to test the RAM:

If either shows any errors, print out the results and take them with you to the store.

Macbook pro freezes & after a hard restart i get a grey screen & horiz bar

i have a intel 2.3ghz macbook pro that is freezing up... and the only way to unfreeze it is to do a hard restart.... then when it is starting i get a grey screen with a while apple logo and a horizontal progress bar near the bottom of the screen? the computer seems to run fine after it starts until it freezes again... usually it freezes a couple of times a day... i have run disk utility and repaired the permissions and also done a disc check.. the disc check said that the hard drive was ok.... i have backed it up via time machine and superduper back up... my laptop is running osx 10.6.7 and it says that the software is up to date... the hard drive is a 500 gig hitachi and was replaced a couple of months ago... i have 105 gigs of free space... any ideas on what is going on? and what i can do to fix it... i am heading out of the country for a couple of weeks on monday...

I reloaded OS X 10.6 with the install disk (CD) and then upgraded back to 10.6.6 using the downloadable 10.6.6 Update Combo file from the Apple site. Below was the exact sequence:
1. Download 10.6.6 Update Combo file connected via a direct ethernet connection. I wasn't able to accomplish the download via wireless because my computer crashed before I could get the entire file. I saved this on an external hard drive, also, just in case. I also backed up vital files.
2. Reinstall 10.6 via install disk. Put disk in drive and restart holding down "C", per the instruction blurb on the CD. This took about 45 min. Note that the "progress" time didn't seem to match what was going on.
3. After the 10.6 install was complete, I opened and ran the 10.6.6 Update Combo
After (3), everything has been fine. Total time was about 1 hr. All of my files/programs seem to have made it through untouched.
I've been tempted to try the 10.6.7 Update, but am still gunshy from the experience. I have a feeling that if one were to use the 10.6.7 Update Combo in (3), things would work out fine. I'd love to know if this is the case, but for right now, I'm pretty happy that my computer is back to normal. Hope this helps.
BTW I think you can probably restore via Time Machine, but the above is what I did.

Macbook pro freezes after login

I have a mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15" with a Core i7 2.66GHz processor. Sometime after upgrading to Lion, I started getting the spinning beachball of death just after login. Unlike many posts about freezes on similar MacBook Pros, mine is not freezing before login, but after. I start the machine, login, and then if I try to open any application, the beachball appears and I have to do a hard shutdown with the power button. Then if I restart again, it is usually fine. I was able to fix this problem some time ago by deleting a preference file (plist) for one of my apps (I think), but the problem has surfaced again and I cannot remember how to correct this. Anyone having similar problems, please let me know if you've had any luck fixing it. I am running 10.7.3 (in fact, it seems like the problem may have resurfaced just after the update to 10.7.3, but I'm not sure.)
FYI, I have auto graphics switching off and am still experiencing this problem.

Don't worry about the auto graphics switching. Go to "Users & Groups" in system preferences. Then click on login items and removes all of them. I haven't pinned down exactly which one was causing the problem but I suspect it was one associated with my HP printer. I have verified that Dropbox and Magic Menu from StuffIt are OK to leave in the login items. Just remove what you have there and add them back in one at time (if you can't live without them) until it starts to give you trouble again. Let me know if this helps.

MacBook Pro Freezes after successfull 10.5.2 update

I downloaded and installed 10.5.2 last night, and experienced no problems. The installation was smooth. However, this morning my MacBook Pro (2.33 ghz Intel, 2GB Ram) froze twice during normal use. First I was using Safari and the screen froze, no cursor movement, nothing. I had to restart with the power button. Then, a few minutes after the restart, I was composing an email in Mail, and the same freeze happened. No cursor movement.
I have since downloaded the iLife 08 update and Leopard Graphics Update. So far, no problems and no freezes, but its only been a few minutes.
I searched the forum, and didnt see any similar posts. Please let me know if you have this same problem, or if you have heard of any fixes.

I have the same problem!!!!
It has happened 4 or 5 times already, just exactly the way you've described it! No problem installing 10.5.2, installing the iLife update, installing the graphics update. But ever since after that when i use Safari it totally freezes, no mouse movement, keyboard, lights stay lit up, doesnt respond to closing lid for sleep mode or powerbutton. Have to restart by holding down powerbutton.. So strange.. Havent seen other posts yet but heres someone just like you supporting your post ! If i find any more information on this ill let u know ! xoxo - lindsay

Macbook Pro Freezes after wake up from sleep

My Macbook Pro 5,5 with mountian Lion freezes after waking up from sleep. i have 8 GB RAM and did a hardware test wich was passed. I also have a SSD of 240 GB in the optical drive. this is my startup drive. Another HD is my workdrive. The first thing I see is that the Airport does not come back and it seems that is does not wake up. After that the whole finder freezes.
What can be the problem?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

Macbook pro freezes after sleep, after 6 months of not having that problem

Hello,
I'm really frustated with my macbook pro. Like the tittle says, my computer freezes after waking up and the only thing to do is use the On/Off button. It is a macbook pro '13 2010.
This problem first happened around 6 months ago. Around Feb '11, i experienced the same issue. First thing i noticed was that the wifi suddenly stopped working. To try to fix it, I turned airport off and then couldn't turn it back on and had to restart my machine. Then when closing the lid and then opening it again, my computer would work for about 5 min and then freeze. Nothing worked and I had to shut it down using the power button. Then the problem got worse because the computer started freezing randomly. I know it wasn't an application problem because it happened using different apps. I took my computer to an authorized apple service provider and they told me the harddrive had some bad sectors i think, and they replaced the harddrive because I was still under earranty at the time.
Now, Sept '11, the problem came back. First the airport problem happened and now my computer freezes when waking up, the exact same thing that happened 6 months ago. I went to disk utility and repaired disk permisions and still no solution. My warranty expired last month so calling apple won't be of any help. I installed lion the day it came out and was working without any problems until now, so I don't think lion is the problem.
Has anybody had this same problem with their computer? I don't know what to do or how to tell if my harddrive is causing the problem again.
Thanks

MacBook Pro 4,1 Ram Upgrade

I'm attempting to upgrade my ram from 2GB to 4GB on an early 2008, 2.5GHz, 6MB L2, MBP. I've purchased 2x2GB, PC-5300, DDR2-667MHz modules and attempted to install them. After installing the two modules my MBP would not boot. I contacted the manufacturer of the ram and they suggested attempting to install one 2 GB module and one of the original 1GB modules. This configuration functions properly. Both 2GB modules have been verified as functional when used with one of the original 1GB modules and have been tried in both slots. Any ideas as to why my MBP will not boot with more than 3GB of memory ?

Hi again,
Response from Centon suggests this: "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.6 "
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacBookPro_EFI_Firmware_Update_16.
I don't think it applies.
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 3 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP41.00C1.B00
SMC Version: 1.28f1
Still at a loss as to why both modules won't work together. Centon advises that system should boot with only one module installed, I'll give it a try.
Many thanks

Macbook Pro lags after Yosemite upgrade

Hi,
I upgraded my Macbook Pro (8gb, Jan 13) to Yosemite yesterday....
Since the upgrade it is painfully slow and sluggish. It takes ages to boot up. Once finally booted up everything lags. I see the coloured pinwheel permanently.
I tried running the internet but it's impossible to move around and type. It freezes constantly. text has to catch up with my typing.
I have tried all the tweaks and scans I can find and even reinstalled it. Nothing has changed. I am hardwired to the web so wireless is not an issue, but I did turn off bluetooth etc as advised.
I am at the point where I will need to go to recovery and revert back to its original purchased state!!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am desperate to get back to a machine that works!

Hi ..
Since boot time is slow open System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
Remove all items listed there. Same for HD > Library > StartupItems
Restart your Mac to monitor boot time.
And make sure there's enough avaiable disk space. Click the Apple  top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Check the hard drive.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk and restore OS X.
As far as the internet is concerned, if you are using Safari, try the following:
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

MacBook Pro crashes after Leopard upgrade

Since upgrading to Leopard my MacBook Pro now runs at least 3 times slow than with Tiger.
Also Safari crashes like mad, almost every web site I visit it crashes (6 attempts to write this).
Plus if you try and search online ebay, istockphoto, click in the search bar then the pin wheel appears and Safari crashes!
I've also noticed how much more frequent the Mac now crashes almost like it's in a crashing competition with an under-powered Vista machine.
I think I will try a clean install to see if that makes a difference, if not it'll be back to Tiger and the land of not crashing every 10 mins.

As there is no "clean install" option, I can only guess you mean an erase and install:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
The crashing may be do to installed third party applications which aren't compatible with 10.5, permissions which are in need of repair, or insufficient disc space, or third party widgets which aren't compatible, or possibly RAM which has gone bad.
