How to Deal with MacBook Pro Late 2008 Freeze? - Apple Store Could Not Fix It
Hello,
I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15" that freezes often and randomly. I exausted all options that I know to fix the problem. My last trip to the Genius Bar was to reset to factory settings.
The machine runs OS X 10.8.3. Recently upgrated the RAM to 8GB. I made numerous trips to the Apple store trying to resolve the issue. Multiple hardware and software tests showed that there is nothing wrong. No long time ago the store changed the screen because of a factory deffect. I thinkg this has nothing to do with the freeze issue. Changed the battery a couple of months ago.
It looks like the problem begins when the fan stars to work. I loose wifi connection although it supposed to be on. The cursor frezes what ever it wants. Then I have to restart the computer. .Sometimes have to shut it down because the problem persists after a few restarts. The computer does not see heavy use.
Would be grateful for any help!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Late 2008
