MacBook Pro 2015 keeps completely freezing and wifi issues

Hi,


I've had my macbook pro 2015 for about a month now and have encountered an array of problems, which hasn't filled me with hope from making the jump from windows to mac.


The first and most annoying one is that whilst browsing the internet on safari and chrome (I tried both) the whole computer freezes the mouse won't move/click the only option is powering it down. This has happened whilst I was constructing this message.


The second is that it will randomly drop wifi and not connect to certain networks, which is usually coupled with a complete freeze.


The specs are here:

Early 2015 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch

OSX Yosemite 10.10.3

2.7ghz Intel i5 CPU

8 GB DDR3 RAM


Any help will be greatly appreciated as it is driving me nuts!


Ollie

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

freezing when attempting to display Flash content from the web can be caused by an out-of-date Flash.


Apple sometimes blocks out-of-date versions of Flash Player, because they have incredible numbers of Bugs! Download ONLY from:

I use and recommend ClickToPlugin Safari extension, cousin of the old ClickToFlash. It is extremely well-behaved and keeps you from using up resources playing stupid videos in ads and on web pages (unless you click on them to play).


If you think you have a Wi-Fi problem, Start a new Thread with a more-specific title, and post the answers to these questions:


what is your PHY mode and Channel?

what is your RSSI or signal Strength?

what is your Transmit speed?

and very important, how many other Networks do you see?


To get those answers, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Wi-Fi Icon. you get a display like this:

Please try this experiment for me:

The next time it freezes, do not touch the trackpad (every gesture would make it worse), and just wait for 5-15 minutes and see if it would recover.

In my case when it freezes, macbook is able to recover some time later, after that it works extremely laggy, but it is good enough to save all my files and reboot it cleanly.
