Like clockwork, MacBook Pro freezes for about 30 seconds every 20-30 minutes... Why?

[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1552085, member: 56379"] Yes I would agree. If booting from the old boot drive (and the problem disappears)...then this would indicate that: - it is not the ram (hardware) - it has nothing do with the old boot drive (hardware) - it has nothing to do with the OS or apps installed on the old boot drive (software) Of course you cannot rule out software (as related to the new HD)!;) The test with the old boot drive proves that it's not software related on the old boot drive...but that doesn't mean something software related on the new HD isn't the problem. So here is what you're left with: - Could be software related on the new HD. Did you install ANY new software on the new HD that wasn't on the old HD? - Could still be hardware related: * a problem with the new HD (manufacturing defect) * could have something to do with the actual physical install of the new HD * could be some sort of incompatability between the new HD and the computer (rare). Given that the old boot drive worked fine...if it were me...I would start from scratch with the new HD: - completely erase the new HD - format the new HD - do a fresh install of the OS on the new HD (only a fresh OS install). *** If after doing this the problem is gone...then this means that the new HD is not the problem (no manufacturing defects...no installation issues). *** If after doing this the problems persist...then you have either a hardware problem with the new HD, the new HD is incompatible in some way, or the new HD was not installed correctly. Finally. If the problem is gone with the reformatting & fresh OS install on the new HD...but the problem returns after you do the Time Machine restore...then the problem would have something to do with the Time Machine restore. - Nick [/QUOTE]
