I'm having several persistent issues lately with my Mac Book Pro (Purchased 2010)

a. Periodically the screen blacks out

b. Sluggish to restart when rebooted

c. Skype won't stay turned off, even when I've "Quit" it


Ideas about what might be going on?

Many thanks!

Deborah

a. need more info - blacks out because it goes to sleep? Verified your sleep settings?

b. What size and how much free space on the drive? Have you run Onyx lately.

b&c. Have you checked your startup items and removed everything you don't want to start at bootup?
