I can't take this constant freeze, start, freeze, start, - and repeat. Who do I have to bribe to make this just go away?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
My Apple experiences were different. I'm bought countless Mac products since 2006. My 2020 iMac was the first Mac that ever had a problem that required support. All my other experiences were stellar.... I had a MacBook Pro with a dead keyboard and it was serviced quickly.
And even with my new iMac, I can't quite chide Apple for it. The problem was faulty memory from OWC. Twice replaced, it still caused the machine to lock up each and every time and even the memory-checking tools did not produce a problem. I fixed it by removing OWC memory and installing Apple OEM Micron memory and the problem immediately fixed. So technically, it wasn't an Apple problem. I just could not get anyone from either camp to definitely say that is was memory. I would think Apple support could run a diagnostic and say "yep... bad memory" but even their tools did not identify the problem.
Sorry you're having such bad luck with your machines. I've recommended Macs for countless people (based on their use) and every person has been happy. I buy Macs because they actually require less hand-holding than the WinTel camp. I run several flavors of Windows on my Mac as virtual machines so I still use both.
I don't see "EtreCheck" in the App Store. Is there some other name it goes by?
PRAM Reset and SMC Reset performed. It'll probably take time to see if the freezing finally quits.
Well, my MacBook is better than Windows by a long shot.
Had another freeze today. Well, Apple was nice while it lasted.
macOS randomly freezing - it just never stops
