Sleep/wake crash OSX Mavericks, Macbook Air 2013

Hi there,


Since the upgrade to Mavericks my 2013 Macbook Air had a few sleep wake crashes. The problem occurs when my air turns to sleep, and I try to wake it with the keyboard within a very short time.(1-3 seconds I think) Happened a few times when I was typing and accidently pressed the on/off button while typing(which is a really stupid feature in the new OSX if you ask me) and a few times when I tried to safe my laptop from going to sleep because it was idle for to long, and just got there to late. What happens is that the Macbook just gives a black screen, but is still on. I cant let it sleep by closing the lid, and the only way to get it running again is by restarting.(holding down the on/off button)


Couldnt find anything similar to this. So i'm hoping if this is a common problem with Mavericks and is on the list to be fixed with the new patch.


I hope you guys have some info.

I hear that, I mean like I said I've never installed any antivirus software ever, I've tested the hibernation crash problem to see if it still occurs with all apps fully quit and it does so on that note I beleive it's not to do with apps being open.


It's quite a rare issue, in my opinion if it was due to mavericks then this thread would have been a thousand pages long within the space of week.


I know loads of people using mavericks and using the same apps as me plus a whole bunch more who have never once had the hibernation crash.


That's why my opinion is that the 'sleep failure' code in seeing in Console post-crash is hardware related. That's just my opinion from what I've heard from others who have the exact same issue and how it has been solved (I.E with replacement hardware).


Personally I hope in completely wrong and 10.9.2 has fixed this as it would save me the hassle of asking this up with AppleCare.
