[QUOTE="dawson1112, post: 1483143, member: 264710"] If im not mistaken that model is the 17 inch version of the early 2006 MacBook pro. It has the radeon x1600 graphics chip in it. If I had to take a guess I would say it is either getting hot or the ram is at fault. Also the radeon x1600 graphics chip in those older MacBook pros gets hot fast and will cause a crash after only a few minutes of use. It could need a good cleaning out to remove the dust form the fans and heat sinks. I have not run across a MacBook pro from 2006 yet that is clean on the heatsinks A 7 year old laptop that has never been cleaned out is gonna get hot pretty quick. The freezing is a common issue with the graphics chip getting hot. [/QUOTE]
