System freezes since High Sierra

The freeze issue has pre-dated High Sierra for me. It’s been an issue for about 12-18 months.

Maybe on your internal HDD, but not external ones. 🙂

I don't use external drives.

IMHO you are wrong. I don't use any of those software's, the freeze came while browsing the web on Safari, so your point is invalid.

I think you should re-read this topic, since it's said somewhere that Apple DID acknowledged the error, and stated that they would be working on it.

Macbook Pro or iMac Pro Jaswarb?

Mac Pro 2013 Quad processor and an old 2012 iMac

Kindly share how you down graded? I would to follow you as I am tired of having this issue!

I can't reinstall, it freezes every time mid reinstall, around 40% in.

I think you're being paranoid. If you keep reading, you'll see that there are users with 2017 model year Macs also experiencing this freeze bug.

I’ve been having this same issue recently, except in my case not even the mouse responds. Occasionally, when some of the applications crash I see an error regarding a SIGABRT and SIGSEV which are usually related to hardware issues. I am a software developer and am not usually doing anything too demanding of the computer or running multiple monitors, but like was suggested this does sound like it may be related to the GPU drivers in the latest update. I’d be interested to know what models this is happening on. Mine is a 2015 Macbook Pro.

Anyone manage to fix this themselves?

Still having the same problem on Late 2013, Mac Pro. I wish I never bought this computer now. It will crash on average 3 times a day and I dread using it and losing work.

I signed up to the beta test of the new OS because frankly it can't be much worse. I'm logging several crash reports a day. I wonder if we all signed up to the beta test, there are 350+ people who seem to have the same problem according to the first entry on this post. So if we had that many people logging 1-3 (or however many crashes you get a day) then maybe Apple will take note, and take some action to fix this. I even get crashes before the previous crash log has been submitted!

I'm seriously considering selling the machine, but I'd need to be sure it was working first (and of course if it was working I'd want to keep it!). I also have a thunderbolt Audio Interface, so I don't know if I'd be able to use it any more, and potentially some Apple only software. Really don't want to go down this route, but its looking more likely.

Thanks so much, jaswarb. As much as I love all the ideas and fixes other people have found for this freezing problem, it still infuriates me that this is the route we have to go. We all bought a product we expected to work. We should not have to find work arounds in order to get what we paid for.
