Q: Macbook pro freezes after connecting to internet
Ive had issues for a while where MB would freeze within 2 mins of start up.
Took it to a repair shop today and had 0 issues.. couldn't get it to freeze if I had to.
I determined that after connecting to internet at home.. the freezing occurs soon after, while either on internet or opening applications. Computer does not freeze at home if I have wifi off.
Any idea?
Other laptops run fine here at home on the internet.. no other issues with any other device other than my MB
