OSX freezes randomly

My Mac freezes all of a sudden randomly.
No spinning beach balls.
It just freezes and I can't even move the cursor.
It happens time to time and I have no idea what's causing it.
First I thought it's because of the heat, but since my mac isn't so hot
when it freezes, I assume it's not the heat.
I think this is since 10.9.4.
Until 10.9.3 I have never experienced it.
I'm using MacPro 2013.
I hope someone knows the solution for it.
Thanks

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". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
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.

  • MacBook freezes randomly

    Hi,
    Since yesterday, My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) with OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 freezes randomly.
    When the screen freezes, the cursor can’t be moved anymore and the music that’s playing is  ’stuttering” (repeating).
    I’ve noticed that the freezing happens when I launch programs as Photoshop, Illustrator, iPhoto,…
    Each time I open my MacBook Pro and the Mac recovers from Sleep Mode, I can see the login screen but I can’t move the cursor or type in my password anymore.
    Is there somebody who knows a solution for this frustrating problem?
    I can’t use my Mac longer than 15 minutes anymore.

    Dear Linc,
    Please find the log right under this message.
    As requested, I deleted 3000 lines of repeated messages.

  • OSX freezes while external HDD starts up.

    I have a WD My Book Studio connected to my Mac via firewire 800.
    Over time the HDD goes into a sleep mode.
    When using OSX, the HDD randomly starts up.
    I have had it start up when simply using the brush tool in Photoshop to surfing the net.
    For the duration of the boot OSX freezes up, it can take anything from 5-15 seconds.
    It isn't to much of a problem, however if there is a way to prevent this from happening. It would be good to know.

    I have disabled the "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" in System Preferences -> Energy Saver.
    It however did not affect the external HDD.
    As for un-mounting the drive and remounting it. I know that works, however it is haste. I'm not sure if there is a solution for this. Do Seagate HDDs have the same problem ?
    Also out of interest, what HHDs do LaCie use, do they make their own drives?

  • I've been using Firefox for quite a long time now and recently it has started giving some problems. It freezes randomly and doesn't respond to any clicks.

    I am a proud user of Firefox. I started experiencing the freezing problem since i updated to Firefox 18 and now I am facing the same problem with Firefox 19. Firefox does not respond to any of my clicks and then I have to close it using Task Manager. This is happening frequently and randomly. It does not freeze on a particular site or anything else. It just freezes randomly. Please do reply if anyone has a solution to this problem.

  • Fresh Install of Windows 8.1 on HP Pavilion a4313w freezes randomly

    I've done four fresh installs of Windows 8.1 on the HP Pavilion a4313 Desktop PC in our home and it always freezes randomly. Even in safe mode, it freezes. I've done hardware tests with BurnIn Test 8.0 and everything including the hardware memory is fine. Antivirus is installed and it's completely updated with Windows Updates. Once I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1 and it still froze. I performed a fresh install, because it would hang sometimes with Windows 7.
    Anyways, I am more then ready and willing to post more information or test results upon request. Anyone have suggestions?

    Hello @buddhapunk36,
    I understand that your computer running Windows 8.1 keeps freezing and you have run the hardware tests and it comes back okay. I would suggest that you try installing the original Windows 7 that came with your computer and see if the freezing continues. If it does continue the the issue appears to be a physical issue. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html.
    If the issue does not continue then your system may not be compatible with Windows 8.1.
    I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Macbook Pro (mid 2007) freezes randomly

    Hi all,
    Last week my Macbook pro (2007) started to freeze randomly. 2-3 years ago I added an SSD (64 gb crucial M4) and replaced the dvd drive for an 500 gb HDD. The configuration worked perfectly until last week. My macbook sometimes works for a couple hours and sometimes it freezes just after 30 minutes from startup. Sometimes during an freeze I can use the programs that were open. For example when reading an PDF I can scroll 1-2 pages down/up. When I scroll more than 1-2 pages Preview freezes as well.
    I have done the following things to exclude some frequent problems.
    Set my fan speed to 6000 rpm to exclude an heat problem. The system freezes also with 'normal' temperatures.
    Checked my SDD & HDD on file consistency and repaired the disks with disk utility (booted from Mac Os X install cd). Disk utility reports that the disks are okay. I also checked with Techtool pro on bad blocks and smart status. All seems to be all right.
    Checked my RAM with tech tool
    Reset NVRAM
    Checked console for error messages. There are no messages at all between a couple of minutes before a freeze and a forced turn off/on.
    I haven't installed new software recently.
    Last time when my macbook froze, I had an terminal window open. In this window I could execute some commands, only the most basic. Top, sudo, shutdown etc. didn't work. I could navigate to all folders on both SDD & HDD. But I couldn't see any files, only folders. That is strange right?   
    I think the next step is to change the hard drives for an other (new) one, to exclude hard drive problems. But before I open my Macbook I was wondering if anyone has other ideas to solve this problem. 
    Thanks for any help.

    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.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "I/O error" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application. 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 window will be empty. If you get output like this:
    kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
    the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem.

  • X freezes randomly, screen turning black or flickering

    Hey everyone,
    I'm having this annoying issue where X freezes randomly, I can't tell exactly when it happens. But when it happens, the following occurs:
    - Screen is frozen, sometimes turns black, sometimes turns black and reappears, but still frozen.
    - Cursor and sound (e.g. music) still works
    - When switching to a new tty (CTRL-ALT-F6), I can log in and restart gdm using
    sudo systemctl restart gdm
    - When I'm in the other tty and trying to switch back to the graphical view, I get stuck completely, not even switching consoles works now.Reset is the only option from there
    - Blindly restarting gnome-shell doesn't work
    I somehow have the feeling, it happens more often when I physically move my laptop, but thats just a gut feeling. It also happens often when my screen is locked and I try to log back in.
    I found this bug report, but its quite old and that doesn't help me: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14594
    Any help would be very appreciated, its really annoying to lose my work so often.

  • System freezes randomly in Mac OS X Leopard

    I have a problem with my system which freezing randomly. When it freezes, I can still move the mouse pointer around, but I can’t move or open any object on the screen.
    It doesn’t seem to be connected to a particular program since it might occur in various programs. I checked the hardware and also catalogue structures, authentication and so forth with disc warrior. Another odd thing is that I can’t seem to beable to boot from the installation DVD. I’ve looked in the various logs (for example the crash logs), but there doesn’t seem to be any notation of the freezes on any of the logs. Another thing is that I sometime have trouble starting the computer, pushing the on-button doesn’t result in anything. Is there anything else I might try before reinstalling the system?

  • Re: Tecra S10 and S11 freeze randomly

    We have several Tecra S10's and S11's. They freeze randomly during the day. Some even twice within half an hour, others spread it out through the day.
    The Tecra's are all Windows 7. Some have 64 bit, others a 32 bit installation. After the Windows 7 installation we removed additional software we don't need, like McAfee, Toshiba goodies (Assist, Tempro, etc), Ebay, etc. After that we activatie Office 2007 and we Microsoft-update the the laptops. So far so good.
    However, after a week or two just simply working in Word causes the Tecra to freeze. Even ctrl+alt+del is not working. The Tecra has to be forced to shut off by holding the power button down.
    Does anybody recognize these 'frozen moments'. It's very anoying.

    > All notebooks are in an Active Directory domain Windows 2008.
    Thats the reason why I asked if notebooks are connected to some company LAN.
    I saw somewhere on this forum that similar issues were noticed in the same situation. Notebook was somehow blocked when was part of domain.
    Probably some data exchange between notebook and server was responsible for this blocking and freezing issue.
    I really don't know what to say. If you have several notebooks with the same problem I recommend you to contact nearest authorized Toshiba service provider and ask for help. You know they have contact with Toshiba people and if there is something serious they can help you with this.
    I really don't believe some long discussion here will help you much.
    If your local administrator cannot find out what the problem can be than you need professional help.
    Do you agree with me?

  • After recent updates, Gnome freezes randomly. Video problem?

    I've been having some problems lately that I didn't have before recent updates.
    My desktop will freeze randomly and my only option is to switch to a VT and enter multi-user mode with `systemctl isolate multi-user.service`. X doesn't crash though. My Gnome Desktop just freezes entirely, but the mouse pointer continues to move around just fine. When I enter multi-user mode, Xorg.0.log says that the server exited successfully.
    Below are error messages in dmesg, systemd journal, and Xorg.0.log.

    But now, how to fix that?! Is it due to my /etc/fstab? Does this really matter with nemo/nautilus mounted shares? This, however, depicts the machine in question (the one that, disconnecting from the network, caused my own to freeze)

    At last I found out what's my problem, hopefully your situation is similar so that we can work out a solution on this one.
    THANKS! I'm quite sure this is the reason gnome shell freezes for me as well. I was mounting my box.com cloud with this entry in /etc/fstab:
    # box.com account

    If anyone has an idea for how to fix this, I'm all ears. For now, I'll just remove the entry from /etc/fstab.
    I'm running vanilla Gnome, with only the Frippery shutdown menu and battery remaining extensions installed.

  • HP Elite 7100 freezes randomly

    Mostly brand new (about 3 months old) HP Elite 7100 mT (i5 750, 4GB RAM, ATI 5450) freezes randomly.
    Tried reinstalling OS with clean Windows and fresh drivers of HP website and/or INTEL/AMD accordingly, still happens.
    When it freezes, the windows log doesn't write anything, only that the subsequent boot was unplanned (meaning it's not kernel level, but hardware level).
    I used diagnostic software to stress-test the computer but temperatures remain within normal parameters and stress-testing it does not make it freeze - it is apparently completely random (about once a day or two).
    Anything I should try or do before I start the agonizing process of trying to explain the local HP support what's wrong so that they can take the computer to the lab and try to reproduce it to no avail?

    T-G, EVGA is a good manufacturer.  However, the card is 9" in length.  This may present some space problems.  As for temp problems, I suggest seeing if nVidia makes software to allow you to control the fan speed.  My XFX card is ATI.  ATI has software (Catalyst Control Center) to allow me to adjust the fan speed and overclock the card if I desire.

    Any ideas ?
    Regards
    PGutierrez

    Sorry for the late reply.
    I decided to check if overheating could be the problem so i monitored the temperature for a few days and they seemed to be under control when the freeze/lockup occurs. Sometimes i get lockups even on a cold start.
    Recently i came across this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/568611 . I hadnt noticed any problems with brightness control but i decided to check anyway. It works most of the time, but if i try to increase or decrease it a few times (using the functions keys or using the gnome applet), the system locks up. I can reproduce this consistently. Also this seems to be consistent with freeze in GDM because the lockup almost coincides with the point when the gnome power manager tries to restore the brightness levels.
    There is also a fix https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+ar … gbacklight for this. Is there way to patch this onto my kernel?

  • CQ40 Freezes Randomly

    I am currently having a CQ40 - 324TU running Windows 7 x64
    The drivers are downloaded from HP site
    4GB RAM
    The problem is it freezes randomly
    Randomly as in it's hard to predict when it freezes. It can run for hours without freezing or they freezes the instant you enter windows. Once it freezes, you have to force power off the com to restart.
    Just last Saturday, it froze for 8 times during my 3 hours exam.
    I suspect it's the Motherboard Problem but I sent in for service for 3 times, they did not detect any problem.
    Anyone of you have this problem with your CQ40s?

    It's the RTM version btw, i.e. the final one and I installed the same things in an identical unit, that one turns out fine. (Identical as in everything is exactly the same to the submodel number, except the RAM, that unit has 3GB RAM)
    I am not sure whether most freezes are by software but I think what JRGibbs1990 referring to is a Hang, where the program stop responding. A freeze is the who computer freezes, i.e., it will not respond to external input at all, which means nothing will happen if you press anything, unless and press and hold switch button to cut power.
    And I do not think it is the software problem, firstly, the windows RTM installation works on all the other coms I use. Secondly, it even freezes with purely windows (without additional softwares), thirdly, it worked on an identical unit.
    Something odd about my machine is when i install the drivers found online in HP site, there is one particular one (Realtek PCIe Lan or somethng like that), once install, it will cause the machine to hang upon loading windows or before the login screen which interestingly, that problem does not occur with the identical unit.
    I sent in to HP for repair, I even talked to the customer service manager in HP Singapore. This is what he said, they test computers using HDD preinstalled with designated OS with all the drivers installed. And for CQ40 (at least for my unit), the designated OS is vista and they put it for many days, it did not seem to have a problem. They do not have HDD preloaded with Windows 7 x64bit to test (which I personally do not buy this reason). If that is true, there is something wrong with the service provided.

  • EMac freezes randomly, open window turns into broken up jibber

    My eMac freezes randomly, open window turns into broken up jibber (kinda looks like I put a photoshop filter on it or something). I can't force quit when it does this, no error message, I've repaired permissions. Any ideas?

    This doesn't help. but my first thought on seeing your picture was 'addressing bit failure in the video memory'. Unfortunately, as you already know, the video 'card' on the eMac is a chipset mounted to the logic board, and the only repair I'm aware of is replacement. An Apple Service Provider could give you an estimate but unless your eMac is still within the standard one-year hardware warrenty or you purchased the three-year ApplceCare extended warrenty, that's not an attractice cost-benefit tradeoff.
    On the chance that I'm wrong and it's some unusual system corruption, look again for the Hardware Test disc. It can be tricky figuring out where it is; on early eMacs it was always a separate CD, on recent eMacs it's a partition on the Restore DVD, and on models in between, it depends on whether the OS X Install disc was on a DVD or not. You might try booting from your OS X Install or Restore disc using Startup Manager to see if Hardware Test is on a partition.
    If nothing else, booting off the OS X Install disk (as if you were going to run Disk Utility > Repair Disk to check the drive) should further confirm if the problem is in the video hardware rather than in the hard drive's OS: if the broken display appears when booted from the OS X Install disc, it's pretty certainly the video hardware.
