Well the first step is to see if there is anything in the machine that is being overtaxed for any reason.

Apple hardware diagnostics can isolate hardware issues.


If the machine is under a year old and has not had AppleCare purchase, hardware issues usually can be addressed with AppleCare. If it has AppleCare purchased, then you can address them for a longer period of time.
