[QUOTE="adam_r911, post: 1618949, member: 337360"] As the title says really, for a few weeks now my 2012 Macbook Pro is running slow and freezing even doing the simplest of tasks like writing this message. some info on my mac - Macbook Pro 13inch 2012 2.5 GHz intel core i5 4GB 1600 ram 500gb sata disk it suddenly just began to run slow so I did a fresh install of mavericks, no luck. So I did a fresh install of snow leopard again no luck and since then have worked back up and now running on Yosemite. The only way the laptop seems to perform at an okay pace is if I am running disk utility, whether that be a verifying/repair the permissions or erasing free space... but still it is slow but at least it usable to some degree. Also yesterday I booted up and got the no entry sign on start up, did this a few times through the day but today this issue has not come back. any ideas on what could be up? the laptop was dropped from a considerable height last winter but after it happen the only damage was cosmetic and it performed fine until a few weeks back.. I have thought about replacing the disk or ram but I don't want to spend the money incase I'm wrong or missed out something any help is appreciated? thanks adam. [/QUOTE]
