[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 996088"] I personally think you have actually fixed this now (the boot camp/indexing thing) but just in case, try opening Activity Monitor. If the lockup happens again, once you regain control switch to Activity Monitor and note if there were any spikes of CPU activity or network activity. I should also mention that this COULD BE repeat COULD BE your drive stumbling over a bad block or beginning to fail. So if the excluding boot camp thing doesn't work, I might suggest you clone the drive to an external, test the clone to make sure its okay, erase by ZEROING OUT the boot drive then restore. That will "lock off" bad sectors, but bear in mind that's a band-aid for a bigger problem, namely hard drive is slowly going. [/QUOTE]
