Q: MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) freeze with Yosemite

Sadly, I have to tell you that the 10.10.2 beta doesn't fix our problem.

I just installed it on my rMBP 2012, and the computer crashed again, on the same "heavy" pages that used to make it freeze before.

The symptoms are the same: mouse cursor is moving, but nothing else is working.

*SAD*

Have a heart Level 6 CT.  I agree its not true to the subject but it is somewhat related.  And people are humans, not robots.

The lack of relevance in some of the posts is less of an issue than Apples tight-lipped response to people having trouble and becoming frustrated.  My steer?  Lets spend our time lobbying Apple and collaborating rather than exercising our Forum OCD on what represents a poor match for posting.

(CT, before you ask, there are some people in other forums that actually like me!  And I don't mean no harm here either.    :-)  )

had same problems like most of you. my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) always get stuck, specially when i try to play a game like wow.

then had to restart 2-3 times to get it work again. i tried clean install etc. but nothing helped. talked to apple but had no more warranty .... they wanted 500 Euro for logic board replacement.

somebody in this thread said that he opened his mac, cleaned it and replaced the cooling paste. i tried it on my own. i opened the mac and it was so dirty, really really dirty and the pasted was like dry. i cleaned it and replaced the paste. now the mac is working for 3 days and no problem. before i was not able able to play world of warcraft for 10 min ... now i can play for hours and no problem. its like new !

hope could help somebody and sorry for bad english ....

MacBook Pro Retina 15 Mid 2012, have the same problem. Laptop always freezes when using Nvidia card with difficult tasks.

I also have this problem. Mid-2012 15" Retina MBP on Yosemite 10.10.1. Tempted to take it into Apple, but it only happens on average maybe once per week for me, so it's not really aggravating enough to have to deal with the hassle of a logic board replacement. Apple needs to deal with this ASAP though.

You saved my day. When I went to Apple, they suggested to replace the mainboard, in fact it's just a matter of dry thermal paste !!!

Mine would crash more and more until no boot possible (from once per week to more times per day). I thought my nvidia chip was burnt and now after thermal paste replacement : magic.

Since my first boot after thermal paste replacement I could start a music in itunes, put the animation on, play with gfxcardstatus (switched more times between the 2 cards), attach a thunderbolt display (while itunes animation playing)

I can't get in to details because people who think too highly of themselves will be upset that it isn't the topic of the thread but I used Xcode tools to change the script inside the PKG file. It was a one line code change that made it ignore that my machine wasn't a Mac Pro.

Correct, but if you've used PC drivers from NVIDIA you know they use the same driver for most of their cards. They don't list a 650M because Apple doesn't allow us to install an updated one. So just use one of the other Mac Pro drivers which they DO allow.

For example, the drivers for the Quadro K5000 for Mac work just fine.

Bump. Encountered this very same issue on my 2012 rMBP. ):

Head hung in shame....   Well I promised I would update again if I had another freeze up.  I had cleaned all the dust out of the heat sinks in my rMBP and had been hopeful that would fix the issue.  Well, it didn't.  Crashed again with "Intel GPU Hang Summary" in Console...

Hello, everybody!

Today i've got my laptop (MBP late2013,nvidia 750) from Apple repair with the new mainboard.

First thing is i tried to freeze it usual way by switching between cards (enable/disable Automatic graphics switching). And i could not!

I tried several hundred times. Before repair i always could to hang it their.

Hello to everyone who thinks that this is only software problem.

I'll write here if something changes.

Hello

I have a Mid 2012 Retina MacBook Pro too, and also upgraded it to Yosemite. 

I met same problems ( sudden freeze, black screen, etc), and had to do hard reset.  Recently it is getting more frequent, several times one day.

Now I tried to lock it to integrated graphic card or NVIDIA G650M by gfxstatus, and it seems worked.

I'm not sure if it is software problem or a hardware problem, and I will take this to apple store for a diagnose.

but if so many people met same problem with same Mid 2012 retina macbook and with same Yosemite,  it looks like a software problem or a low-level software driver problem.   ( when using 10.9 Mavericks, I didn't meet so many crashes and freezes. maybe only twice per year ).

so please apple check this issue and make a fix if possible.

I post the error log here that I met yesterday:

Hello, everyone.

Less than a week passed since i changed mainboard on my MBP late 2013. I try periodically to hang it. And today it was success. I could hang it several times by switching between discrete and internal cards (all is freeze, only mouse cursor is moving). I noticed 1 thing that this is can be happened only when temperature of the laptop is high. (Temp above top buttons).

I don't know what to do. I can change mainboards every week. But is it make any sense? Or may be change MBP to one with one card only. I don't know.

And now i agree that this is software problem. Or almost all of the mainboards are defective.

Anyone has success try to change driver to Mac Pro, as somebody wrote above?

Re-installing the operating system (like I did), and waiting for Apple to fix the issue with an update are your only options.

Doing the former thing will lower your chances of crashing and make everything noticeably faster.

My MBP Retina Mid 2012 has this issue... I think it is an hardware related problem, because I noticed it with Lion too (red orizontal lines working, and gray display on boot).

Now, with Yosemite, the display hangs on, sometimes the mouse still move, and if, for example, I am in a skype call or using a music player, I still hear (and talk on skype).

Frequently it appens opening Photoshop; other times, if I have Firefox (with a lot of tabs opened) and other software developing tools...

Nothing from Apple?!? There are a lot of discussions on this problem....

We have to produce without loosing our work!!
