Q: Mac frozen after enabling safari caches
Hi,
for some time I have had the problem that my macbook air (specs below) would freeze (trackpad and keyboard completely frozen) and I would have to shut down by holding the power button. This happens I would say up to twice a week.
I have noticed that this problem occurs only when surfing using Safari and (I think) only when there is a video content to be loaded, e.g. while scrolling through facebook, 9gag, etc.
Interestingly, this problem does not occur at all when I disable the caches in Safari. I can't quite control that though as for some reason they sometimes get enabled automatically again and I don't notice it.
Suggestions are much appreciated!
Specs:
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015)
Processor: 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5
RAM: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB
MacBook Air, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
