High Sierra macOS freezing and stops

I don’t understand the thing with SSDs. I have a 2013 rMBP with original 1TB ssd installed that came with the machine. Surely actual Apple ones shouldn’t suffer from this?

I thought I was in the clear too, but today my MBP rebooted itself while left alone, and then I started seeing visual glitches again.

Nope. My system freezes and my external display is "Default for display".

I just installed the latest public beta for 10.13.4 (Beta 4) and can confirm that the bug is still present :/

I was thinking of doing a fresh install with a High Sierra USB stick and a fresh APFS partition. Will need to reserve some time to do that as rebuilding a development workstation is A LOT of work.

BTW - the problem is also visible with their stock SSD and memory.

It's possible that your drive is re-indexing Spotlight and causing the slow down. Look in Activity Monitor and see if you see any mdworker processes running. Mdworker is a Spotlight process.

I've been running 10.13.4 and still freezes which are causing a hard reboot. I'll try the latter of your recommendations.

Same problem on an iMac 27-inch...

I uninstalled FLASH!

BINGO!

All good so far.

fingers crossed.

Uninstall Flash Player for Mac OS

is your dock on the left?

I have this issue, and dock on the left, you think it's a reason? Just uninstall flash, keep monitoring now.

with 10.13.5 it's fix.

is your dock on the left side?

Its on the Right side 🙂

It has also been tried on the bottom, to no avail.

When I have similiar issues I can reinstall my OS but most of the time it is related to my browser and I have to reinstall it without losing my programs of course.........
