My Macbook Pro Retina keeps freezing on up...

Hi,

I have exactly the same symptoms on my MacBook Pro Retina. It freezes with a black screen right after login, half the time. I have to hard reboot... sometimes the second boot gives the same result, and at the third boot it's ok.

I've installed gfxCardStatus to check if it's an issue related to the graphic card switch, but this hasn't given me any clues.

Sometimes my session opens normally (no freeze), but the system becomes really instable when I launch an app which makes use of the Nvidia graphic card. For example, Adobe Illustrator. In that case, Illustrator freezes and the system is slowly becoming unresponsive, even after a force kill af that application.

It's really annoying, I can't work on that machine... it's like the Nvidia graphic card is half dead.

I hope it's a software issue, not hardware.

If we could have an official answer from Apple, that would be great!

Thanks!

Hello,

This thread goes more in details about this issue, I'll post my feedback here:

black screen after login, Mountain Lion on Macbook Retina

I have the same problem as everyone as well. My rMBP will get stuck on a black screen after typing my password for login; however, this issue, like what everyone else has stated, is fixed by enabling auto-login. I find this a bit of an annoyance, hopefully Apple will release an update soon to fix those facing this issue.

Same here.

Blackscreen after Login (sometimes). Seems to be random.

Same issue here.

Also seems to crash and freeze the screen randomly (even if computer was idle).

I got my refund on this stupid computer. Do this as follows power down computer and turn it back on and hold D button. Run the test if you get an error code just save your time and get your full refund. I believe all retina computer are fuc$& defective

Same issue. Italian MacBook Pro Retina.
