New MacBook has just started to freeze...

and I'm on El Capitan 10.11.14 happens in Chrome and pictures x 3 in 10 minutes. I see this comment everywhere now and all use this version of El Capitan and all programs and different browsers. There must be a bug here and it needs to be fixed right now. I had to reboot now 4 x in the last hour. This is not why we buy Macs.

The latest version of El Capitan is indeed 10.11.4.  First run disk utility.  Select the startup disk, not the volume indented under the drive in the disk utility sidebar, and then click first aid to the right.  If there are no errors reported, select the volume (usually called Macintosh HD) back under the drive in the disk utility sidebar, and then click first aid.  The second check is the most important, which is an indicator of alteration of the data on your boot drive.

In addition, start up the Mac in Safe Mode.  This corrects the other types of errors (at startup) and starts the Mac without loading third-party system extensions.  And the third-party background processes that auto-start when you connect also do not operate in Safe Mode.  Third-party software can cause system instability.

Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning - Apple Support

Most applications need to run in Safe Mode, even if the overall performance of the system will be slower.  The "freeze" problem still there?  If this isn't the case, you will need to investigate the possible causes through a process of elimination.

If the startup disk is close to satiety, which can cause problems.  In the Finder (or on the desktop), then right-click on the icon of your startup disk and select information.  You have enough space free available?

  • Satellite L300D has recently started to freeze

    Hello

    First time poster so hope im in the right place!

    My L300D has recently started to freeze on me, he's about right start. If I move the screen slightly it will unlock and I can work on it, but is likely to freeze again with any movement of the laptop, so the constant movement of the screen to thaw it is a bit annoying that you can imagine!

    I used compressed air to remove dust from the fans because it had seemed as if it was overheating, but that made no difference.

    Is there something simple I am missing or is this tendency to freeze a symptom of the beginning of the end for my laptop?
    If anyone has any experience of this / tips for getting on it, it would be well appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    I was currently using vista windows on a computer hp laptop. He began to spoil with various problems of internet connection and not pick up on the drivers. I was told to use System Mechanic, which lead to all my files are completely erased. I don't have the disc to re-download, nor do I have the recovery disks. I do not seem to have any files left on this computer, except for the possibility to enter commands, which I'm not sure will work out well. If anyone has an idea on what to do, let me know would be a great help.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You can also make recovery disk/s since the Partition of recovery in case of hard drive failure or System Crash, when you are in service again...

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • Weird question has just started - changes in my .cpp file is not used?

    I have a strange problem with my application. I have a working application that I built and submitted for review. I just make some changes and add a feature, but I find that when I change my (as simple as changing the debug messages) .cpp file the application that is deployed on the Simulator is mirror not them. It's just stuck. It works great even after that I have comment lines which should break/change the application.

    Anyone know why/how this could happen? It worked very well there's just before exporting a release build for the presentation of a few days.

    Delete the app in the Simulator? Clean and rebuild the project from scratch?

  • Satellite Pro A10: after 3 years now just started closing

    Hello

    Can someone help with this problem?
    I've had my Pro A10 sitting about 3 years now and it has just started to close.
    I had the fan replaced and cleaning of the unit.
    In power options, I put the CPU to the minimum speed and max cooling.

    Someone at - it any other suggestions.

    See you soon

    All you did was just to prevent overheating of the laptop.
    After 3 years of dust and debris could prevent the cooling modules work correctly

    So after laptop all cleaning should work and the laptop does not overheat.

    Maybe a new thermal paste between the CPU and the cooling module could help reduce the heat from the CPU.

    In addition, don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop for the circulation of air correctly

  • Windows 7 task bar and especially start menu freezes constantly

    Recently, I have had weird problems with the taskbar and especially start menu gel and the entire system trolling. I'm sure this isn't hardware problems, like my laptop with windows 7 Professional has a processor core i5 and 6 GB of ram. Sometimes for the use of my computer, just start menu freezes without reason when I type something in the search box. The taskbar freezes too sometimes, but rarely. I find it really weird because when I say sometimes, I mean about 3 times a day. Even more troubling, whenever windows Explorer freezes completely up, I got Task Manager and see that I'm only using about 25% 50% cpu and ram. To make things worse, I have manually to complete the process explorer.exe in Task Manager, and then open it again with race, only to freeze again just after that the taskbar appears. Is could someone please tell me what is happening.
