Why does my Macbook Pro keeps crashing recently

I've got my Macbook Pro for my studies. As a design student, design softwares dominates and are extremely important for us.
Recently (I have no idea why) My Macbook just keep crashing and crashing crashing non-stop. This Macbook is approx. more than 1month old but less than 2 months.This crashing event started around last friday, when i headed to my studio and 1st thing was to switch it on (I seldom shut my Mac down, just close it and head to sleep), after using it for no more than 45mins, the blue screen or rather 'the blue screen of death' that my friend called it, just popped out all of a sudden.
Tried to get it on, it hung with a white screen right after i switch it on, the Apple logo and spinning wheel appeared. After resting it for about 5mins, i was able to get it on, i started trouble shooting manually, and found out that my Mac crashes when i was using Google Chrome (My main browser) halfway.
I changed to Safari from then on and found out that my Mac crashes when i use MSN messenger. So i changed to Adium. Then my sister borrowed my Mac to open .FLV files using Adobe media player and it crashed again while she tried putting it in full screen. I avoided all these and after 2 days, i switched on AutoCad on my Mac and it crashed again, while its loading.
I tried calling Apple for help but they told me they couldn't tell me more because it hard to say whether its software problems, or my Mac's hardware problem.
I've used Google Chrome and MSN since the very start and no problems surfaced until then. And i'm sure these popular apps like Adobe Media Player, Chrome, MSN and AutoCad are NOT suppose to crash because these apps are widely known and my Macbook is rather new.
These are the following hangs that i've been facing :
- Blue screen with vertical stripes
- Horizontal stripes with typical green and pink pixel
- Screen just froze
- Screen froze, but cursor still moving
- White screen right after the Apple Logo & spinning wheel at Start-up
- Soft blue screen right after the Apple Logo & spinning wheel at Start-up, right before log-in
I'm in desperate need of help, please kindly advice, 
Wilson Yeo,
Thank you

I agree with Apple. It is hard to say, but from the list you provide I would guess it's a problem with the mainboard. What I definitely do know is what you have to do: Go to an Apple store and tell them what happens. They will most probably replace the mainboard.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro keep crashing?

    MacBook Pro 5,3 (mid-2009)
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 RAM
    Bluetooth Off
    WiFi on (50% of the time)
    After sluggish performance (and now crashes) I've investigated w/Disk Utility app.  I've been finding "Disk Needs Repair" more and more frequently lately.  Was every month or so, then every week and now my Mac sometimes crashes multiple times in a day (whether it be a white screen or that black box that overlays the screen with the message to restart the machine).  Often my MBP will not read the installation disc when inserted, but when I do get it to read, the Disk Repair is always successful (says Disk Utility). 
    I've:
    -Repaired the disk from the installation DVD
    -Repaired permissions from the installation DVD and just from the startup disk
    -Reset PRAM/NVRAM
    -Reset SMC control
    ...multiple times.  Crashed keep coming back, sometimes immediately.
    I used Yasu (cache cleaning software) for the first time a few days ago.  Seemed to remedy all crashing issues...until yesterday.  It crashed again with an external HDD attached (not that the ext HDD was at fault, I'm just trying to provide as much info as I remember).  Not only is this very frustrating, inconvenient, etc. -- it's the machine I use for my job (performing as a DJ for over 15 years) and I just dread a crash mid-performance (was very weary tonight), since it crashed during sound check last week.
    More info (for what it's worth):
    -This HDD is less than a year old (Seagate Momentus XT 750GB 7200RPM)
    -The RAM is upgraded, not factory installed (has been installed for over a year)
    -Battery was replaced (supposedly OEM) about a year ago (under warranty for another 2 years)
    I've copied/pasted the crash reports to notepad in hopes someone will be able to diagnose this issue with them.
    Mediafire Link
    Also,
    -I opened Activity Monitor app last night, but found nothing odd.
    -I opened Console app last night and saw many crash logs and they just continued to roll on out.  Let me know if that info will help and I'll be happy to copy/past or save screen shots.
    I've reformatted my machine long ago for a separate issue.  I'd really like to find someone to decipher these crash reports to know if reformatting again is necessary.  I'd rather not do it as a guess, but I understand my options could be limited.
    Your time and efforts are appreciated.  I love this machine when it behaves.  I'd like to see it stick around a bit longer.

       OK, so - I used Memtest in verbose 64-bit single user mode to find my installed RAM OK installed individually, but bad installed as a pair.  Interesting that was the case, but they will be mailed in to get them repaired/replaced.  I installed my factory RAM and Memtest verified them OK after 4 runs.  All has been fine, up until 10 minutes ago.
       After playing a movie with an external monitor plugged in, I unplugged the external monitor and the charger, closed the lid and packed up my MBP to return home.  I opened the lid only to find my home screen appear for a split second before the screen turned white.  Had to power down, holding the power button for a very extended period of time. 
       At first, my MBP would not turn on right away.  After a few tries, I heard something, but no fans and nothing on the screen (alost sounded like just the HDD was running).  Hit the power button again to shut it off.  And again to turn it on.  The power-up chime played...and played again....and again - it just kept looping by itself, with a slight distortion noise at the tail end of the chime.  Powered down and up, this time seeing the kernel panic window.  Did this 4 more times (incl SMC reset and NVRAM reset).  The 5th time I saw the kernel panic window, I held Shift + Command + Option + Power button (SCOP, used for PMU reset) until it powered down.  My MBP finally got to the login screen. 
    I immediately went to Disk Utility to Verify Disk.  "This disk needs to be repaired" it said, again.  Before I left for the evening, I actually checked w/DU and it reported the disc as OK.  Something is going on and I don't know what.  I'll attach the Error Report below:

  • Why does my macbook pro keep crashing/restarting while streaming the world cup?

    I was watching this time for over an hour and all of a sudden (without other apps running or any action on my part) it crashed. I've done a disk utility repair and it's still happening. I need some help. Here's the last crash report:

    Thanks, that seemed to work. But now I've been having a new issue lately. I'm starting to think its hardware related, but either way I've had many crashes...some not always with a crash report. It seems my SMC is acting up at times, and other times the screen will glitch out and produce these pixelated horizontal bars and then crash. I just reinstalled OS X, I've run the usual diagnostics. I'm getting ready to run a Apple Hardware Test, but I figured I'd come to you for help first.
    Here's the most recent crash that occurred (no horizontal bars this time), but it did crash and refuse to restart (it beeps the strange tone from what seems like a spot other than the speaker, that's how I came across the system management controller reset). Anyway, here's the report:

  • What is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

    what is application memory and why does my macbook pro keep running out of it?

    There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
              A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
              Not enough memory for your usage pattern
    Please note that if the cause is a memory leak, installing more memory will not help. That's likely if you already have more than 4 GB of memory. Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
    These instructions are for OS X 10.9 and later. Some details may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
    When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
              View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
    from the menu bar.
    If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
    The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
    Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, reset the printing system. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
    "Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
    If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
    The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
    sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
    where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting down during installation of OSX Mountain Lion?

    Why does my Macbook Pro keep shutting down during installation of OSX Mountain Lion?

    Hmm, good luck then!
    I'm pretty much exactly on the opposite side of the planet, but I've been to Vermont and remember its rural beauty well. However, I can't imagine you having the only Internet connection within a reasonable radius (where "neighbors" hanging off the same ISP don't count). Uh, that note only if your wired connection to the router produces no good result, either...

  • HT1338 why does my macbook pro keep freezing up and how do I resolve it

    macbook pro keeps freezing up...how do I resolve that issue

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an 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 page that opens.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. Do not post thousands of lines from the log. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Why does my MacBook pro keep beeping 3 times. The screen is frozen.

    Like my MacBook Pro keeps beeping 3 times and pausing for 2 seconds. The screen is frozen.  How do I fix this and what is going on?

    That is  a RAM issue, do you have any spare ram you can swap to confirm?  Possible causes:
    a ram module going bad
    installation of incompatible ram
    your ram may have become dislodged
    I would suggest:
    - removing all ram from your MBP, and reinstall it to see if that helps.
    - if you recently installed new ram, remove it, then restart the computer with  the old ram to see if this helps.

  • Why does my macbook pro keep freezing and rainbow disk appears?, Why does my macbook pro keep freezing and rainbow disk appears?

    My macbook pro keeps freezing and I get a rainbow disk circling. I have to hold the power down and turn off, it will not do anything else.

    Can you tell us how much RAM  (Memory) you have? It's listed by clicking on the  in your title  bar....go to About This Mac and it's in the 1st window.
    We would also like to know what size hard drive you have and how much free space is on it.
    If you click on your Hard drive icon (should be upper right hand corner of your screen), or the Finder in your Dock...when the window opens it says at the bottom how much Free Space you have on your drive.
    If you go to the , click on About This Mac, click on More Info... in that window. The next window says how big your hard drive is under Hardware....click on Serial-ATA.....look under Capacity:
    We need to know this cause if a hard drive is too full it slows things down and creates operational difficulties.

  • Why does my macbook pro keeps freezing up

    macbook pro keeps freezing up

    If you have a 2012 model and its still within the return period-   bring it to Apple right away !  Apple had a slew of faulty laptops come out in the back to school crunch -  everything from Macbook Pro's not being set up right to work with intel HD 4000 graphics thus causing freezing-   fans not working all that well causing over heating - to Macbook Air's having faulty wifi units.
    If you can- exchange it !

  • Why does my macbook pro keeping saying it is not supported when I try to connect it to other devices?

    My macbook pro keeps saying its not supported when i try to transfer images and stuff from my macbook pro to my iphone 4. What do I do?

    First, put your images into iPhoto or into a separate folder. Open iTunes and connect your phone. Select the iPhone under the Devices section of iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Photos tab in iTunes' main window. From the dropdown menu you can select iPhoto or some other folder from which to sync the photos to your phone.

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep telling me I have to hold down my power button until it shuts down and then restart?, Why does my Macbook Pro keep telling me I have to hold down my power button until it shuts down and then restart?

    While transferring files from one external hard drive to another, my MacBook Pro routinely would freeze and often render a message to hold down the start button until it shut down and then restart. I have i7 why does it keep locking up?

    You can go back to original hardware; run Apple Hardware Test even.
    Remove 3rd party RAM ( much rarer I think )
    USB printers, cables, devices and drivers.

    For the last couple of days, every minute, my Mac has been making a two-tone beep.  I have absolutely no idea why.  There are no jumping icons to tell me that a program wants my attention and I have tried closing all my applications, the problem does not go away.
    I live in Nepal and there are no Genius bars to go to, what do I do?
    Thanks,
    Keith.

    Backing up should not be a problem. Has your computer had a knock recently? I'm just wondering if a RAM module may be slightly unseated. You can google YouTube videos on resetting it, you also may need to to search these forums to reset PRAM and SMC.
    Good luck

  • Why does my macbook pro keep shutting down with a charged battery

    Why does my Mac book pro keep shutting down? I lose everything I am working on when it shuts down  help

    kva,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have? Is it running Mac OS X 10.5.5? If not, which version of OS X is currently installed on it?
    Are you running on battery when it shuts down, or are you running on AC when it shuts down, or does it happen in either case? Which app are you working in when it shuts down? Does it happen only in that app, or does it happen no matter which app you’re working in?

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep zooming, scrolling, clicking, highlighting, etc. without me doing anything?

    For the past three days my Macbook Pro has been acting like it has a mind of its own.  It will randomly highlight things, scroll up and down, switch to dashboard, zoom in on the webpage I'm looking at, and click on things.  It does it when my fingers are on the trackpad both stationary and moving around, but also when I stop touching the computer altogether.  I've tried restarting the computer and it stops freaking out for a little while, but then goes back to it.  I updated my Mac software last night to see if that would help and it's still doing it.  Any ideas?  Should I take it in to a Mac store to get checked out?

    See My mouse keeps moving around on its own, as if someone is remotely controlling my Mac!

  • Why does my Macbook Pro keep flashing to blue screen randomly?

    I bought my Macbook Pro last August and have used it for four months now. It's still new. Everytime I check on it, the screen keeps flashing to blue in like 5 minutes and I push Command + Shift + Q to log off and the screen goes back to normal. It keeps happening a couple times since I got my Macbook Pro. Does this mean I am under warranty?

    This is a known 2011 Macbook Pro 10.6.8 problem.  Occasional blue screen when quitting applications due to graphic card switching.  Temporary fix is to turn off graphic card switching.  Under Apple, system preferences, energy, uncheck box.  You can also close your display, allow sleep, re-open.  Should return to desktop as if nothing happened.  We are waiting for Apple to fix the problem?
