My Macbook pro 13 inch keeps freezing

Over the last two days, I am facing issues with my Macbook pro 13 inch. While running Ableton, it freezes, even though the CPU is not overloaded. Post that, it abruptly crashes to the login screen, and does not respond.

I somehow got it to work and I ran Disk Utility. I verified the disk and it came out ok. I ran "Repair Disk Permissions", and after running for five minutes, it resolved some issues and I got the all ok message.

Here are some lines from the console messages from about the time that I experienced the issue today.

Used the first command. No error message. Is the screen supposed to exit by itself or go to the starting command prompt (myusername- macbook pro- my username$)?

the latter $. Now enter the second command to rebuild your kernel cache since it is out of date. Copy and paste the bolded, and press enter:

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

Upon completion (when it returns to command prompt again), type "exit"

Quit terminal. Reboot your machine.

Make sure you subsequently update to latest version of Lion. Your info shows 10.7.3

OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client) - Support - Apple

Will updating OSX affect my data? I haven't backed up my data ( a rookie mistake). If I update, will I lose my data?

You will lose no data in the update.

Jul 24, 2013 3:32 AM in response to Vaibhavfromdel

Awesome. Will update and let you know if the problem still persists. Thanks.

Best of Luck. Hope the issue is resolved. Be sure to keep your OS up to date always!

Jul 24, 2013 3:44 AM in response to nbar

Will keep that in mind!

Jul 24, 2013 5:51 AM in response to nbar

The issue is persisting. I was downloading the update when Mac froze again. Had to hard reboot. Waiting for the update to complete downloading. I will update the OS and see if the problem stil exists. Thought I would let you know.

Jul 24, 2013 6:43 AM in response to nbar

Update -> It says the update cannot be installed since it is meant for OS 10.7.4 or later. What to do?

Jul 24, 2013 7:01 AM in response to Vaibhavfromdel

Have you checked the "S.M.A.R.T." result about your HD in the System Profiler? Maybe your HD is faulty.

Jul 24, 2013 7:07 AM in response to luxuryliner67

How do I do that? Although I think that may not be the problem. Can the HD go kaput all of a sudden? I have been using it for almost 9 months now.

Jul 24, 2013 7:12 AM in response to luxuryliner67

Okay, I get it. You are talking about Disk Utility, right? That was the first thing I did. The disk verified, and it resolved problems with permissions too. So I guess HD isn't the problem, right?

Jul 24, 2013 11:27 PM in response to clintonfrombirmingham

Hey bro, the problem isn't solved yet. Could you help please. Here are the steps I have taken so far ->

I have updated the kernal cache

Checked for panic logs, but there aren't any

Disabled the "Put the hard drive to sleep" option in preferences

After disabling the option, there have been no freezes yet. But it is running slow. Would updating the OS help?

I think I can pinpoint the event after which the problems began. I inserted a pen drive, which could have been corrupted. Is it possible that the pen drive corrupted the system? If yes, would upgrading it solve the issue, or do I have to go for a clean install.

I do not want a clean install unless absolutely necessary. Have a lot of stuff. Please help!

From the finder Menu,  > Software Update. Repeat and perform all these updates until there are no more updates.

It might be worth upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.4. It is only $20 and is much faster!
