[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1435097, member: 56379"] Two thoughts: 1. There are many things that can cause a computer to freeze. Usually: - software conflicts between two or more incompatible apps. - sometimes issues related to the OS (especially when talking about a new model computer) - sometimes incompatible hardware...like someone upgrading their computer with the wrong ram I'm not saying that your computer wasn't freezing due to the issue mentioned in the article you linked. What I am saying is...not all freezing is caused by what was in that article. 2. If you were experiencing this "freezing" BEFORE the warranty expired...you should have taken it to Apple to be examined BEFORE the warranty expired!!! The freezing you were experiencing was NOT "normal wear & tear". If the computer was less than 1 year old...this sort of thing is not supposed to be happening...and the computer should have been taken to Apple for examination. It's too bad you didn't join Mac-Forums sooner...and posted about this problem. Because for a computer which still had Applecare remaining...we would have recommended you to take it to Apple. - Nick p.s. What about trying the external monitor idea?? [/QUOTE]
