• Screen freezes randomly (Macbook Pro retina 13 inches early 2015)

  MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, early 2015)

  OS X Version of El Capitan 10.11.4

  Processor: Intel Core i5 at 2.9 GHz

  Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

  Graphics card: Intel Graphics Iris 6100 1536 MB

  
  

  I bought this MacBook on the Apple store online a year ago, and I must say it has been a very reliable machine up to now. It starts way faster that any laptop I have ever used before.

  However, recently to update my OS on the 10.11.4 version, my screen freezes randomly. The keyboard and trackpad are both unresponsive.  Closing the cover does nothing either, since the macbook won't sleep normally as it would be. The only solution I had was to hold down the power button to force it to close.  This has been extremely frustrating and made me lose valuable data too.  I ran the Diagnostics of Apple and the only error seems to be the battery issue. It has been said, however, that it should not affect the performance of the computer.

  
  

  If someone has encountered this problem, great tips, thank you would be much appreciated!
  

  
  

  Hey, I bought the same macbook 6 months ago, the macbook had several recurring problems, graphic and audio glitches, what happened was, sometimes (for watching movies, or playing games) the screen went black with a red line on the left side of the screen, then after 2-3 seconds screen is returned to normal, and then there was a glitch-audio distortion that attaches after 10 seconds - 1 min.

  I have tried to solve this problem, because to the 4months, 2 authorized repair shops are rendered as well an apple store, they told me that the tests have said everything was perfect, they failed to reproduce this problem, and that is probably a software problem, it wasn't, because I did everything to eliminate the risk that this was a clean install os software problem to use different browsers, readers different flash etc.

  About a month and a half my macbook froze for the first time exactly like yours, frozen screen, slider became unresponsive, caps lock light insensitive, trackpad locked (didn t click), closing the screen was always on the apple logo. I did exactly what you were doing, forced to shutdown by pressing the power button.

  I was furious, thinking that this is an escalation of the hardware failure and he was in awe of this next step is to "die".

  The next time he "froze" again, I went to the apple store nearby with the macbook in a frozen state and demanded that they fix it, I insisted the guy writes it down and describe the exact condition of the macbook was when I took it to them, and he said that they will run tests and see When I tell him that it is the "millionth" time test you my macbook, he said, that even if the tests show nothing they will replace the logic board, we signed a "service record" who says that they will replace the logic board and the battery and for the first time that I was happy they will finally fix.

  I was wrong, they called me a week later and say we took some tests and everything is ok, it was the last straw, I did not pick up the macbook and said that I will not pick up unless they fix it.

  Next day I went to the store and made a big fuzz, saying: I have contacted the Ombudsman, and I'll still take legal action if they didn't fixed it the next day.

  Next day I went and they had replaced the logic board so the top-case with battery.

  The reason I say this is, their support at least in my case, it was terrible to the point that I preferred to throw the macbook in the trash and never look back, you can't really imagine how long it took me to convince to repair or replace, for 4months I was on the phone or online chat and was flowing like a ball from one to the other.

  If you are still under warranty, go directly to the apple store and request a fix, when I say request, do not be polite, don't bite on phrases like "we will do everything, so you won't have to come back again," go aggressive mode, because at least in my case, be polite did not help, the best thing would be, when it freezes again not turn off it take it straight to the apple store.

  Another thing is, I had a battery problem when running the diagnostics, whenever I gave it to them they said oh "battery is ok, sometimes the tests fail," my argument? If the tests fail how do you rely on them...

  Go and demand, it is their responsibility to fix, 3 and a half months being polite is not done, I'm aggressive and stares at me in 1 week.

  Good luck

• HP Envy 23-o014: HP desktop screen freezes while idle time after installing Norton Inernet Security

  I just got my new computer a week.  I did not now, McAfee has been installed to work.

  Since I've had a full year of Norton Internet Security, I downloaded and installed.

  The day of the installation, while the screen was not idle, he locked the desktop icons (yahoo, msn, etc.) and the icons would not respond.  So I tried the reboot task, and he just kept spinning for an hour and will not re-start.  I had to unplug the computer to start again.  This has happened several times in the coming days.

  So I uninstalled norton and the problem disappeared.

  I see now, with hindsite that McAfee has been also performed.

  Anyway, the Safe Live McAfee seems to work, he wants his subscription and payment.

  My question is should I just try to use McAfee, provided with the system, and try to recover my money of norton?

  Or uninstall McAfee and try to get norton to work and not cause problems?

  We believe that Norton would work if McAfee is completely uninstalled (which was not the case)?

  Thanks in advance for the advice.

  Sorry for the inconvenience caused. It is a known fact that running 2 different programs of security with real-time protection can result in conflicts between them and can cause performance problems. It is therefore recommended to use the real-time protection that one at a time, but you can use everything on demand scanner/security, if you are too preoccupied with the help of a single security program. There is a removal tool in the Mcafee web site that can help you to uninstall the program completely. You can try to use it. Then download and run Norton Removal tool: http://www.norton.com/symnrt and reinstall Norton from your account. Let me know how it goes.

  Get a backup full system, like - especially if you use a Mac Pro with 10.6.8 - then your material is more old enough to be at fault.

  Once you have a full backup and up-to-date...  More information is needed:

  What is the freezing of the entire or just computer screen background image?

  Start in Safe Mode and stop and restart normally and see if that clears the problem.

  If you have the anti-virus or anti-malware installed or any tool that claim to clean, optimize or protect, delete all those which, according to the instructions from the suppliers of package.

  Open Console.app from Applications > utilities and look for repeat blocks of diagnostic messages.   Some diagnostics will look alarming, but they are normal and expected.   Looking for blocks that are repeated quickly.   Post an article - usually five or ten lines at most - of any repetition of blocks.   Please do not share more than one or two sections and lines not more than a hundred post or so and please do not post long blocks of repeat messages.

• Why is my desktop stop often randomly, at all hours of the day and night without prompting even when I use the computer. This is even though I changed the power option setting.

  Why is my desktop standby stop so often?

  It appeared sometimes several times per day or night. He stops consecutively, at random, at any time of day or night time. Even when I was with the computer, there is no incentive to me. The screen is blank. My computer nevers switch down. It's on 24/7-24 hours and 7 days, 365 days.

  It happened like this:

  1. you can hear the exhaust off the computer fan all of a sudden. There was no incentive. You can hear computer calmed down suddenly. The fan can be seen from the back of the grid of ventilation of the processor of the computer of the metal casing.

  2. the screen monitor suddenly stop. The screen is blank. The indicator light on the bottom of the screen of the monitor is always lit. He showed the monitor screen is on and running.

  3. When you look at the led on the computer, it is still lit. This shows that the computer has on photo and runnig. It is dormant, however.  He showed the computer CPU is entered in mode 'sleep'.

  4. whenever this judgment occurs, I would like to shut down the computer and restart the computer from scratch. I pressed the power button on the computer to stop it.

  5. I then press again the start/stop button to restart the computer, restart the computer, and then when she comes back to life, I clicked to restore sessions, and then I keep using the computer again.

  6. the process of restarting the computer was like that, as stops have been going like that for five months and is always like that, because I have been unable to solve. The point of contact in the power button is not more urgent are frequent.

  7. I changed the VGA cable as I said by a computer hardware that my problem could be due to the VGA cable is old, as in the VGA cable copper wire that feeds on the computer to the monitor screen can be broken or twisted, and so the video signals are not stable to feed the data to the screen of the monitor.

  8. Although I don't think that was the case, as my cable never touched the ground, or cluttered or kick or broken, I still went ahead to change the existing cable 15 pin VGA to 3 years with a new as it was only 3 males - the range of the cheapest I found in the shop costs...

  9. However, even if the VGA cable is changed, the stop is always the same, as before.

  10. on another month, I learned by my friend that I should change the setting in the computer mode 'sleep'.

  11. the new settings made in start/programs/system and Security / Option/power Power Plan/High Performance / 'Turn off display' to 'Never' and 'Put on the eve of the computer' to 'never '.

  12 even if I changed the setting of "Balanced (recommended) 'High Performance'" and two high-performance setting has been changed to "Never", the judgment fixed computer sleep mode, and as usual, no warning, the screen of the monitor erased.

  13. it seems the Option "power" and "Power Plan" and "Balanced" or "High Performance" in Windows 7 does not work. Window 7 does not in my computer.

  14. whenever I rebooted and restarted the computer, it is some normal time to see the operating system, repair files stop suddenly, before may be back from normal window of operation conditon.

  15. for more information,.

  My computer is not a brand. It was customized and installed. He bought two or three years ago. The use of the 350 GB hard drive is used by 50%. The computer in the past goes to sleep when there is no movement of the mosue for 15 minutes, or when not in use. He wakes up again when there mouse moves to restart the CPU and turn on the monitor screen.

  Now, he had problem with this kind of stop suddenly attack never wake up its "sleep" again during the month five, which I believe it was several viruses in the files of e-mail in the past months, and when it is very likely that I downloaded from CNET some cleaners or anti-spyware.  I don't know what problem is.

  I then withdrew them a month later of the program/Control Panel / uninstalled program. On the advice of my friend, I then changed version free download AVG.

  16. the information contained in the computer, start/program/computer/properties, gives the following information:

  It's Intel Core Due E7500 @ 2.93 Ghz, 4 GB of Ram, 32-bit operating system, windows 7 Home Premium, 2009.

  It is a Microsoft Firewall protection and is installed with fre download AVG anti-virus protection. He is shown to start/program/system and security / firewall /- and he said: 'Stat window firewall' is 'on '.

  17, finally, with the light of the foregoing, I would sincerely ask the Microsoft community to help solve this problem of closure. I would like to thank all the people in the community who can help me in advance here.

  18. I hope to hear your solutions with you. Thank you.

  Hi DianeCosic,

  What operating system or version of Windows do you use?

  We would need to know that in order to help you better.  If you still see the desktop and My Documents on your Start menu, you should be able to recreate the shortcuts by right-clicking on them from there.

  In addition, if something has changed on your computer, you can do a system restore to a previous point before the show began.

  Please, let us know if we can help you.

• Computer screen freezes after inactivity

  I recently did a free my Norton anti-virus update to the new version 2011. After this update my computer screen freezes like 1 or 2 times a day. It occurs normally after I put mode "Eve" and go back to using it. After about 15 to 30 seconds, it will freeze sometimes.

  I don't know if it's related but I got a DEP Data Execution Prevention, pop up, but not when the screen froze. I performed a complete analysis of the system of Norton and not detected no viruses.

  I wonder if this new version of Norton has problems with windows? I use my computer for e-mail and the Internet. Do not download music, games ect...

  Any help would be appreciated.

  On your download Norton: I had similar problems and discovered how to do a clean install by getting rid of that most completely in the control panel and task bar completely so we start with the most recent. If you do not buy on line and using the disk, Norton technicians will likely send e-mail instructions since it's their program.  But read on some similar experiences I've had, it might help you.

  I finally got the taskbar, moved to the bottom of the screen, but in the meantime, I downloaded a software called ParetoLogic who claimed that he could fix the taskbar, but he did all the scans and has not set something on the taskbar, so I deleted and kept following the instructions in the task bar and got moved from the task bar.  Then I uninstalled the software called ParetoLogic, my office has begun to gel.  I have to shut down the computer manually, so I contacted the technician on their site and they sent instructions to fetch the menus of tasks that were set to run and the record, but when I finally found the tasks, I couldn't delete them.  I tried to close the Task Manager and he said that I could not close file until all dialog boxes are closed, and I could not find how to close the dialog boxes.  I do not know how to find it after searching for the bar of tasks and answers questions, so I had to click on restart and shut down everything, so I probably lost some information on the way.  I had a computer to lock my CD drive there are several antivirus and anti spyware software, making a few years I used McAfee more Att security program free that they have downloaded with my DSL internet. I didn't know until you have to do a clean uninstall before you try to download a newer version. The control panel will not remove or uninstall all of a program, there are always parts of it, still running in the system, and that's what happens to me today, so, maybe if clean you the old version first, then do a clean with the more recent, install which will probably do.

  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
  programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
  first.

• Windows 7 update causes computer to freeze randomly

  I have a Lenovo T500. It's a computer refurbished who came to me with the firmware of a Lenovo.

  I am a student and I bought the edition of window 7 students. Since I installed it, the computer crashes on me at very random times. At first, I thought it was the bios and so I updated this. No luck. The computer hangs when it is connected or when using the battery. Sometimes this will happen in stages where Excel crashes but I still might be able to click on other programs. But when I try to save, close other programs or restart then the computer crashes completely.

  I plan to do a clean Windows 7 install in case there is a conflict with some of the divers that Lenovo put on my computer. Is there anything else I should try first?

  Windows Update has nothing to do with the upgrade of Windows.

• avilion m8187c: screen freeze

  I recently met a screen occurring randomly gel that is unresponsive to attempts to open the Task Manager.  The only recourse that I seem to have is manually shut down the computer, and then restart.  The computer is usually very well for the rest of the session.  Reliability: remarks her abrupt closed but does not show the defects/failures of hardware or software.  My biggest concern is for the damage to the switching device it works (even with a minute or two between the two).  I also want to avoid the interruption of the annying.

  I have no idea what to do to solve this problem.  Good help would be really appreciated.

  Hi there @webbww
  
  I understand that you get random screen freeze, and that your computer is not responding at all to force a manual close. I'm happy to help you with this.

  Here is a page that covers a range of things for you to try in this case, try to isolate the cause. Ideally, you can have this page available on a different device when your screen freezes on you so that you can scroll through what to try. HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - Windows Vista crashes, freezes, or a blue error screen opens

  I would like to know if that helps at all.
