End of report

thank's I'll try that, but first I'll have to make a backup of my system, just in case.

I'd didn't understood this part: " ...use one pass of Safe Mode. This does a pass of Disk Utility repair Disk as it starts up, while honoring the setting of trimforce. Unused data blacks are removed."

How to do this?

cheers!

JP

well, I did those processes of enable trimforce and then I'd restarted with safe mode.

Then I'd restarted again normally. The "lagging" problem came back.

So I've restarted again on recovery mode, typed the nvram code and everything is normal. I'll hope that it stays this way...I'll reply here if that work'd.

Thank's

the issue starts when I turn the computer on....it is immediately noticed when I play a video, view something on web or on a program like premiere or maya...the computer like "gasps" it's a half second thing time to time, is more perceptible with videos...the video stops for a "micro instant" but the audio continues...It doesn't become worse, its the same "gasp" all the time.

The Mac was "lagging" when I ran Etrecheck.

Right now is not lagging because I did the nvram code thing. I'll see if it has stopped when time goes by....

Thank's
