Hello;
Recently, my MacBook Pro froze in the middle of watching a downloaded video. It completly froze, i couldn't even use or access force quit. So, i manually turned my macbook of by using the hard turn off button. The problem started to reoccur, more and more often, not only in movies but also while doing other random stuff like surfing or playing music. I figured out a way to deal with it, by simply closing my computer and than opening it a few minutes later, which makes my computer continue normally for a few minutes. I thought that a lack of RAM might be the problem, but it occurs even when i use less than 5% of it. My second thought was that my computer would get to hot or wouldn't fan properly, but after downloading the app smc fancontroll i learned that everything regarding my computers temperature is normal too.
Can someone please help me?
PS: I use a 2009 or 2010 15' Mac Book pro with 2,66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I got 4GM 1067MHz of RAM and more than 200GB free on my startup disk. I still use snow leopard (is that the problem, is my OS too old?) , but might upgrade to mavericks soon.
Thank you,
Oskar
