Freezing Macbook Pro with 48Gig Ram.

My new Macbook Pro M4 with 48 Gig Ram keeps freezing up. I have only standard software installed and have this problem from the beginning. I hoped it will get better with system updates but no update had been delivered so it might be I have an individual problem with the laptop. Is there a tool I can use to check the hardware, Ram, SSD ect? I have no real time to travel to an Apple store soon.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.3

Consider downloading and running this little "discovery" utility, Etrecheck. It changes NOTHING. Etrecheck was developed by senior contributor here, and uses system calls to collect often-needed information.


it contains little tests for speeds of devices, CPU utilization, memory usage, energy usage and a digest of recent problems, in one easy to use package. it does not even need to be Installed. Because less can be learned when your Mac is running great, best time to run is when your problems are actually occurring, if possible.


if you follow the directions faithfully, its report (pre-laundered of all personally-identifiable information) can be "Shared" to the System ClipBoard, then Pasted into an ‘Additional Text’ window in a reply on the forums.
