[QUOTE="Kuzco, post: 1324635, member: 132742"] So I suspect it is overheating, it constantly freezes and hangs or even shuts down. Can a bigger HDD cause it to heat up more? Can the battery possibly be shorting? Also, whenever I restart my laptop and get to the sign in screen, I have to close the lid and let my laptop sleep before being able to sign in, if I don't do this it will freeze and hang on the sign in screen. I am on a Mac Book Pro (Early 2006) running Snow Leopard, and went from a 80gb HDD to 500gb HDD Could running Snow Leopard cause an older machine like this to over heat? I have seen the heat go past 200 Fahrenheit. Any and all help wll be greatly appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
