[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1685228, member: 182015"] So, it really sounds like it is a software problem, not hardware. I'd put it back in the MBP and startup using Safe mode. Safe mode disables third-party extensions and does some hard drive repairs. To start in Safe mode, hold the shift key immediately after the gong sound, and hold it until you can tell it's starting in Safe mode. Safe mode takes a Looong time to boot because of the drive repairs. Compare how things run generally, then restart normally. Any improvement after? [/QUOTE]
