[QUOTE="05Escalade, post: 1748802, member: 389596"] This is a 2010 Model MacBook Pro 2.4 Core 2 Duo I've been having issues with the spinning rainbow. Initially it seemed like only when using the Internet but it will just freeze sometimes regardless of what I'm doing. Nothing works. I have to manually power it down by holding the off button. Boot it back up it usually seems to work ok for 1-2 minutes and then will freeze again. I did the apple hardware test and it said everything was ok. Figuring it was a software issue I erased the hard drive and reinstalled OSX to find out it's doing the same thing? Any ideas or help? Could this be a hard drive failure or maybe a virus? When I wiped the drive I only did "erase" I didn't overwrite with zeros or anything. Could that be an issue? [/QUOTE]
