Q: 2011 MacBook Pro hard freeze - possible fix (man pmset)

Guys calm down!

I have a good new for you(us). I've consulted to Apple Service  about our freezing problem with 3 beep scream. They told me that it is a kind of RAM problem and it must be renewed. Because of there is no any official Apple Store my bill is valid for only international guarantee and that's why my RAMs will be posted from U.S if Apple Center CA gives an approval.

Finally, it seems that problem going to solved by RAM changing. So there is a sweety way to Apple Service with your bill.

Thanks for the info., esatcetin~

Got a question here, since you'll received new RAMs from apple, how about the other 2011 MacBook Pro users? WIll they(us) all be informed about this or such RAM replacement services are only for people who has reported their freezing issues to apple? BTW, did your apple service advisor mention anything about users from other countries besides the states (cuz i am now living in Australia) ?

Best,

Is anybody having freezing problems when you wake up from sleep? When I lift the lid open my 13" Macbook Pro i5 freezes for 10-20 seconds. I will either get a hard freeze or a spinning beach ball for 20 seconds.

All the user that have a freezing problem sould go to apple services with their bills. On the other hand you have one year guarantee all over the world with your bill. If you were bought your mac from your country you have two years of guarantee.

I brought mine to the Apple Store and all they did was reinstall the OS and they told me to slowly reinstall my applications when I get home. I'm going back tomorrow to straighten this out because I'm getting tired of this. Before buying this Macbook I was using a 6 year old Core Duo BlackBook and never had any problems!

Finally Apple Service In Ankara- Turkey (Neo- Cepa AVM) figure out the problem and deliver my MBP in 7 days!!. They've detected the problem in graphic card. That's why my mainboard will be renewed. But my spares will shipped from CA, USA about in 3 weeks.

So it seems that freezing is coused by graphic card.

Thanks for your post.. It adds something towards being positive, as I looking forward to buy one shortly!

You are welcome. By the way our problem is gone There is no any freezing for 5 days. Apple suprises us again.

So is the freezing issue over now? seems like it.

Finally yes. problem is from memory now. But at first time they have told me that problem was from graphic card. It seem that apple diagnosis test has been break down. They changed my mems and now its in problem detection procedure. It will be finished at tomorrow.

Hello again,

Problem has been solved. Our bad guy is RAM. Service has changed one of my RAM and there is no any problem right now. And it seems that there won't be neither.

I reckon this is a duplicate thread! Please have a look at this link. Thanks

I turned off safe sleep mode and I have not had the the problem since. I don't think I have bad ram because this problem was going on with the 4gigs that came with it and I changed to 8gigs since.
