Brand New Macbook Pro - Freezing

Hi ..

A Safe Mode boot deletes system caches that may help.

Top left corner of your screen click the Apple  > Shut Down.

After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.

Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

Once you are in Safe Mode, go back to the Apple  menu. From the drop down menu click: Restart

About Safe Mode

Note the time of the next freeze. After rebooting open the Console app in Finder>Applications>Utilities and look for log entries at the time of the freeze. Post suspicious ones here.

Look before the log entry that starts with BOOT_TIME since that is the first line of a bootup

Ok I had the same problem, constant freezing etc.. I would often have to do a manual shut down. I upgraded to El Capitan and it still happened. After searching every where it seems no one had an answer and people would often just post up useless jargon with out an actual solution.

Here is what I did:

I removed all apps I don't really use

I had a couple of apps that would run in the background, the ones that stay in the top tool bar. I removed these.

No freezes or crashes since and my Mac book pro seems to be running a little faster. Took me 5 mins to do. Give it a try.
