[QUOTE="perseguidor, post: 1112900, member: 172764"] Similiar problem, have had my MBP for 12.5 months now and have Snow Leopard installed. Over the past couple of days it has been sluggish all of a sudden with [B]10[/B] minute start up times and I get the 'beach ball' every time I try to do anything and have to wait up to a few minutes before it is responsive again. I tried clearing caches - didnt help I tried repairing disk permissions - didn't help I tried 'repair disk' through Disk Utility - didn't help I wiped the hard drive and did a fresh install of Snow Leopard - didn't help I copied my old files etc through time machine - back how it was when I started. Also when it goes into hibernation when battery gets very low, it simply doesn't come out of it and stays frozen on the grey restoration screen! This suggests to me that it MAY be a hardware issue considering it stayed the same even when I wiped the hard drive. Is there any diagnostics I can run to determine this before I pay someone a lot of money to do the same and overcharge me to repair it 12 days out of warranty. Thanking you in anticipation! [/QUOTE]
