My MacBook Pro randomly freezing ever since new logic board?

My mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13" keeps ok randomly freezing ever since I've had a new logic board fitted after my macbook needed a new one (it was fixed through stormfront which is an official apple retailer). It will just freeze, won't be able to move the mouse or anything, and sometimes when I turn it off by holding down the power button, I can most of the time hear a click, but not everytime. Sometimes it freezes when starting up, sometimes it lasts a while before freezing, but recently it's been more like every 5-10 minutes. Can anyone help me as to why this is happening and what the problem may be? I'm running OS X Mavericks. Thankyou.

If You are european then even if youtube out of warrenty then in most countries, its sos that if any element was repaird under warrenty its warrenty is counting from the moment it was repaired. If you are us You have to read warrenty laws.

  • Login keychain not storing iChat password since new Logic board

    A few weeks ago I had to take my MacBook Pro in for repair (the graphics chip died). At any rate, they fixed the issue by replacing the logic board. Now, however, it seems to have screwed up my login keychain.
    Whenever I open iChat now I'm prompted for my AIM password. Even though I ask for it to be stored and remembered by keychain it is not. I have tried repairing the keychain, creating a new one, deleting/re-installing iChat, and even trying a brand new user account all to no avail.
    So what gives? Has the new logic board permanently screwed up some settings on my MBP? Is there anything else I can try?
    Thanks

    I already re-installed iChat by running the Optional Installs.mpkg from the SL disc. Is this why you were suggesting I use Pacifist or can it repair the code signature you speak of?
    no. I wasn't sure if optional installs offers ichat as an option. if it does you can use that instead of pacifists. it should work just as well. but make sure you reapply 10.6.2 combo update afterward.
    What about me not being able to edit and save changes to my keychain items. Doesn't this imply a problem with Keychain?
    do you mean you have problems with other keychain items beside ichat? on all accounts?
    BTW, you marked my post solved. you shouldn't do that until and unless your problem is actually resolved. this tells other posters that your issue is fixed and disinvites further responses.
    I dunno, the whole situation is strange. I have Google Notifier installed on my MBP and it was able to save its password to Keychain just fine.
    Thanks

  • Brand new 2011 MacBook Pro Randomly freezing

    Hi,
    Im a bit concerned I have just got a BRAND NEW MacBook Pro 2011 and already I have had 4-5 random freezes where i have had to hold down the power button to bring it back to life!!
    These have happend as i said just randomly, for example i lifted the lid to wake it from sleep mode and it just frooze on me, became totally unresponsive??
    Another example was when i went to paste a url using cmd-v and it frooze on me??
    I'm a bit dissapointed as I have just switched from windows PC's because I had had enough of that sort of thing and believed these where solid machines with very little issues comapred to a windows system!! and for 2k I don't exect it to freeze especially within a week!!
    I'm hoping its down to software issues to which a software or OSx update will solve.
    Any Ideas?

    Hello, I have had very similar problems but with the MBP not even registering that a charger is plugged in (no light coming on and no change to the battery symbol).
    I had a mid 2010 model that was sent in 4 times to be fixed, with no change, followed by the unit being replaced altogether with the latest 2011 model, only to find the issue persists (the charger was replaced early on as well).
    The only retaining factor is the Lion software which forums have highlighted has effected charging when individuals have upgraded.
    It is appalling that a company like Apple have not taken steps to address these issues and will go as far as to replace all components TWICE in one Laptop, as well as give out a new Laptop, without tackling the real problem.
    Appalled and ultimately very disappointed.

  • MacBook Pro Random Freeze

    I have a 15" 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro with 4 GB RAM and a 320 GB HD.
    My MacBook Pro was working fine until several months ago it started freezing randomly. It would freeze during normal use of the computer and would be completely unresponsive for a couple seconds to a couple minutes. Sometimes, I had to force restart. The frequency of the freezes increased, and one day, it just wouldn't boot to OS X. It was really strange, since I had Windows on the laptop using Bootcamp, and that would work. When I tried to restore using my Time Machine, it froze after an hour. I tried it a couple times using different versions and all versions froze. I had to a fresh install, and migrated my data using Migration Assistant. For a couple weeks, the computer ran fine. However, one random day, the original problem started up again. The frequency increased, and this time I took it to the Apple Store. They created a new user account, and it didn't seem to have the problem. I moved all my files from the old user to the new (copy & pasting). The problem disappeared, but reappeared like usual after a few weeks. I took it back to the Apple Store again, and they changed the hard drive. After I had moved my files over, I noticed the computer freezes randomly.
    I thought maybe my iTunes Library or iPhoto Library were corrupted, so I moved them to the Desktop. iTunes and iPhoto created new folders in the respective Music and Pictures folder but the problem persisted. I have no idea what's causing the problem, and its EXTREMELY frustrating. Its very difficult to work on this computer.
    I tried all the major debugging methods: repairing file permissions, repairing file permissions on the home folder, fsck, etc. Everything seems to be in proper order.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I am facing the same problem. Look at this thread and lets start ruling out by deduction: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2513205&tstart=0

  • Macbook Pro random freezing

    Hi, I am experiencing random freezing of OSX, First I thought it was related to the latest flash, so I deleted it but the freezing keeps happening. Then I thought it was firefox so I switched to safari 5 but still it freezes.
    Now the computer freezes randomly, some times while on the internet, some times while using mail.app, some times just sitting in the finder.
    It freezes also every time I try to sync photos to my 3GS in itunes.
    It also freezes after Steam is open for a while.
    It is a unibody Macbook Pro, 17 inch, early 2009, 2.8 GHz Intel core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.OSX 10.6.4
    If anyone has any ideas how to solve this it'll be much appreciated.

    I upgraded my MBP 2009 Unibody from the original 250GB HD to a 500GB 7200rpm HD, only to experience the dreaded freezing. Freezes randomly and shows the Beachball for about 30-60 seconds. So, I put my old drive in for a while. Then later, (about3 months), I got another 500GB 7200rpm drive. Installed it, and same problem. So I put it back like it was after having to delete a bunch of stuff to get it below 250GB so I could continue to use it. Later got a 3rd 500GB 7200RPM Drive and SAME PROBLEM! So, I put a 320GB 7200RPM drive and it ALSO has the same problem.
    However, each time I did this, I used Disk Utility to copy the data using the Restore command to the new drive. While connected via USB, the drives all worked great. Put them INSIDE the MBP and they give this problem randomly.
    I'm really getting sick of it.
    Then on August 19, a "fix" was released as a firmware update. I just found this tonight and when I ran it, I was told "This computer does not need this update." So, I guess it's only for APPLE BRANDED Drives, not my other drives. I've tried Fujitsu, Western Digital, and Hitachi drives and they all give the same problems.
    Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

  • MacBook Pro keeps crashing ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion

    My MacBook Pro keeps crashing randomly ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Another user suggested that it was bug with the graphic card and suggested that I use gfxCardStatus to control it. However it is only a temporary fix and my computer still crashes. Can anyone tell me what the permanant fix for this problem?? Here is my latest crash report:

  • MacBook Pro randomly freezes

    I just bought the new 13" MacBook Pro less than a month ago, and randomly it will freeze. By freeze, I mean nothing will respond. The trackpad, keyboard, display, music, mouse will ALL lock and the only thing to do is shut down using the power button. There is never a warning when it will happen, as it has happened when several applications were running, as well as none. I do not know what to do. Apple support suggests an erase and install.
    Help?

    If this were just a normal repair job, I'd suggest just sending it in for repair would be fair. However, knowing how sinister this problem is, I suggest firmly but politely requesting a replacement. Some people have blamed this problem on the RAM. RAM can indeed cause this kind of problem. But there are just too many people having this problem (even with RAM that shipped with their machine straight from Apple) that the problem seems to lie elsewhere. In a laptop, there isn't much inside the case except for the logicboard. Well people have reported on these forums that they have had their logicboard replaced only to have the problem happen again. This would suggest that another piece of hardware (though not much is left except the display, optical drive, and RAM) or even software issue could be the problem. Well everybody who calls in about this issue to Apple gets the "Archive and Install" speech, which we do, only to have the problem remain.
    You shouldn't have to deal with any repair this soon into your purchase. Mistakes happen. If a key fell off the keyboard, you'd deserve a repair, not a replacement. You have already pretty much ruled out a corrupt OS install of being the problem. So it's either faulty hardware or a really obscure bug in software that has yet to be fixed.
    I'd still suggest asking for a replacement. This is against their policy, so what I would do is phone up Customer Relations first, explain the situation and see if they'll authorize a replacement. Then head to the store with your case number. If they won't authorize a replacement, and you're fine with trying a repair, tell them that if the repair does not fix the matter that you would like a replacement as the next step because the problem fundamentally makes your computer unreliable. I have had it freeze during presentations. I have had it freeze and corrupt data. This is totally unacceptable of any computing product today let alone one made by Apple.
    Good luck.

  • Mid 2009 13.3" Macbook Pro random freezing issue

    Hi all,
    I had a 2009 13.3" Unibody Macbook and last week purchased a 13.3" Macbook Pro. I had installed 4GB of RAM in the MB myself, and it had worked fine for the month I owned it.
    I backed up my MB with an external USB hard drive using Time machine, restored from this backup on my MBP and moved the 4GB RAM over.
    When using the MBP I get random freezes lasting between 1 and 3 seconds, occuring every 5 to 30 minutes.
    Could someone please advise a good way to diagnose this problem further? I am guessing it is not the RAM as it worked fine whilst in the MB.

    I have an update!
    I made an appointment with a local Apple Genius Bar and talked to a technian. He said it was neither the RAM nor the Hard Drive at fault.
    His only thoughts were that a software issue was the root cause. I have been doing some serious investigating this morning and figured it out. Viewing system.log in Console shows:
    SMS::infiniteIntTimerEventHandler ERROR: we have infinite interrupts, disabling
    At exactly 5 minute intervals. These correlate with the freezes (to the second).
    SMS refers to the Apple Sudden Motion Sensor. I disabled this by doing "sudo pmset -a sms 0" in Terminal, rebooted and everything is fine.
    I have no idea why the SMS thinks the Macbook is falling every 5 minutes, but when it occures the hard drive heads are locked down to prevent damage, which is a perfect reason as to why iTunes would crash but Spotify (streaming internet music) does not.
    Problem solved!
    Edit:
    In reply to some questions posted by other members (thank you by the way).
    I did install EFI 1.7 update. I did not use the Migration assistance. At some point I will do a fresh install then pick and choose parts from a backup rather than using a full Time Machine Restore. This could still have been the root cause of the issue, but it is hard to tell.
    Thanks guys!

  • Macbook Pro randomly freezes time to time

    My Macbook Pro, end '11, randomly freezes from time to time. Especially when I'm on iTunes/Spotify/VLC/Skype. I ran the Etrecheck program and got this output. Could someone tell me how to fix this? It isn't exactly really ****** but it does get frustrating to have to wait 5-30 seconds.

    Nurul N,
    you can find out what resetting the SMC would do by following the link and reading what’s there.
    Which tech guy did that? Did it come from the factory with 8 GB of RAM installed, or was it upgraded to have 8 GB of RAM after you purchased it? If the latter was the case, then the possibility exists that the freezing up is due to a fault in the currently installed RAM.

  • MacBook Pro random freezing after 10.6.8 update

    Hello,
    I've been having an issue with my 17" MBP (late 2010 model).  Ever since the 10.6.8 update, I can work for a random amount of time (usually 30-45 minutes) and then get the "spinning pinwheel of death" with the only recourse to manually power off by holding down the power button.  The machine has run flawlessly since purchase up to this point.
    Apple Hardware Test reports no faults, and I have ran the Disk Utility and had it check for and repair permissions, but the problem still persists.
    I originally suspected a hardware fault, but yesterday I downgraded to 10.6.3 by reinstalling from the DVD and the problems went away (I was able to use the machine for severall hours without any trouble).  Then last night I decided to try Software Update back to 10.6.8 and voila! The problem re-surfaced this morning.
    I am unable to use iPhoto or Quicktime since rolling back to 10.6.3, and the Mac App Store obviously won't load either.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? A Mac-saavy coworker suggested firmware or graphics card driver updates, but I'm not sure what to do.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, I've since downgraded to 10.6.3 so I can get work done today, but here's the output anyway:
    com.vmware.kext.vmx86
    com.vmware.kext.vmci
    com.vmware.kext.vmioplug
    com.vmware.kext.vmnet
    I've heard of issues with 10.6.8 and Parallels, but I'm not aware of any with the VMWare Fusion I'm running (version 3.1.3)

  • 13" Macbook pro random freezing after upgrading hard drive.

    i have a 2010 mbp 13" 2.4
    I upgraded the hhd from the 250 to a 320 5400 RPM drive i cleared the cache did a clean install of osx 10.6 grabbed all the updates and then rolled my time machine to restore all my files.
    But now it randomly freezes for about 4-7 seconds. It's extremely annoying and i can't figure out why. Short of a clean install any ideas on what might fix this?
    Thanks

    The AHT does test the graphics chips. Run the extended version and see if anything shows up in the form of an error code. Also, there may be a crash log in Console. Try to run something processor intensive so the Mac freezes, and then run the AHT. Heat could be a factor.
    Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and bring in your Mac for evaluation. They would probably have a more comprehensive hardware test they could run. If you get any error codes, bring those along.
    It sounds like you could have some sort of hardware problem here. Since you are under warranty, it might be time to let Apple diagnose and fix it. It sounds like you may have had video issues during the first week of ownership with the original hard drive, and these may actually be independent of the hard drive.
    Good luck!
    Good luck!

  • 6-month old Mac Pro has already had a new logic board and power supply

    At a cost of $400 in shipping and a one-month wait, my 5-month old Mac Pro got a new power supply and logic board
    Now I keep getting kernel panics, runaway kernel_task in Activity Monitor, and corrupted boot drives
    External Firewire drives work some of the time, and occasionally my USB devices dont work either
    This computer is a nightmare - how do I begin to figure out if this is OS (10.6.4) or hardware related?
    The extended AHT test reports that all is OK - as does an extended memory test using Applejack
    Should I do firmware updates and re-install the 10.6.4 combo pack, or am I just wasting more of my time?
    I've got 4 macs and this is the only one that works badly - I think Apple's OS updates are getting as bad as Windows updates

    My first question is why you spent $400 to get a 5 month old system fixed. That should have been covered under the warranty. So someone ripped you off, or you left out some key details.
    And if you had both the logic board and PSU replaced, did you ever stop to think that maybe the problem lies with the power coming into your house? It's not really the big power spikes or blackouts you need to worry about, since those are pretty rare. What you need to worry about are the small fluctuations in voltage that happen several hundred times a day, if not an hour. Sometimes there's not quite enough power, other times there's a little too much, and all of this takes a steady toll on the PSU. It will do what it can to try and feed the rest of the computer a steady diet of electricity, but sometimes a jolt will get past it and start damaging other components. It could even cause data corruption on your HDD.
    If the PSU and logic board already went, who knows what damage it may have caused to anything else. It may just be taking longer to show up.
    It might also be that whomever ripped you off to the tune of $400 simply traded you one defective logic board for another. Or maybe they don't really know how to protect against ESD. I once saw a repair shop where the techs smoked in the same room they did the repairs. Sadly, for every one good tech out there, there's probably at least 3 complete idiots. Kind of like auto mechanics.
    And I never have problems with Windows or Apple updates. Seems like on Windows the majority of people who have problems with updates are either running some program designed to change the way Windows looks or messes with low level system files, or they have a malware infestation they were unaware of/oblivious to. Most of the people who have problems with Apple updates seem to be the same way. They're running some truly bizarre programs that mess with the system in ways programs were not intended to mess with the system. There's generally a reason OS vendors provide an API for developers. You deviate from that at your own peril.

  • Have a 2 year old macbook pro that won't turn on--logic board?

    We have a 2 year old Macbook Pro that will not turn on. A computer repairman said it's probably the logic board. Does Apple warrant that or are we just out $1,700?

    When you attach the power adapter, does the led light up?  If so, what color?
    What happens if you press the external battery check button?
    Have you tried a SMC reset?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
    Have you had it evaluated at an Apple store genius bar or an AASP?
    Ciao.

  • Swaping Macbook pro 2.16 Core 2 Duo logic board for 2.33?

    Looks like I have a dead Macbook pro logic board, waiting for a phone call from the Apple with diagnosis. It's a 2006 Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz 128mb ATI. As the title states, can I swap the dead board for a 2.33 core 2 duo with 256mb ATI? Same form factor. I would think there won't be any problems.

  • Macbook Pro, Random Freeze on Shutdown/Restarts

    I need help diagnosing an intermittent MBP freezing issue. When I go to shutdown or restart my laptop, it will occasional freeze, and I have to force power off using the power button. This is a total pain, because I use my laptop primarily in clamshell mode, and it's kept tucked away, so accessing the power button is non-trivial.
    I really have no idea where to begin diagnosing this problem.

    I am facing the same problem. Look at this thread and lets start ruling out by deduction: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2513205&tstart=0
