[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1462514, member: 46727"] The freezing can be caused by hardware or software. It's best to test the hardware first. Boot to the ML recovery partition by holding down the command + r keys as soon as you hear the boot chime (bong!). Once in recovery, go to Disk Utility and do a verify on the hard drive. If it says the hard drive appears to be OK, the next thing to try is boot to safe mode. Reboot the computer but this time hold down the shift key when you hear the boot noise. That will put the machine into safe boot mode. Run that way for a bit to see if the freezing occurs. [/QUOTE]
