Problems since updating to High Sierra. Any ideas what to do?

Normally I can fix my Mac on my own and make it work, but I am at a loss.


I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro.
It is in fact MacBookPro9,2

Processor Name: Intel Core i5

Processor Speed: 2.5 GHz

I have bumped up the memory to the full 16 gb

2 - SSD drives with the Mac HD being a 500gb SSD drive and the second drive is 250 gb . I seriously have plenty of space left on each 316 & 82 GB respectively.


This thing ran like a new machine for me up until earlier this year when I updated to High Sierra. It took about 3 attempts to do it, but finally I totally wiped my MAC HD drive clean and then it installed with no issues. I restored my backup files and it was off running, everything seemed to work at first with no issues or system slowdown.


About 2 weeks in, I noticed at first there were little things happening that were not normal like programs locked up more, but as time has gone on, it has seriously become a pain in my behind! When it sleeps, it will not wake up, or it totally shuts down. But then when I restart it, it does some sort of boot, chime, reboot chime and THEN login sort of thing. I am also having programs (preview, chrome, safari) that are totally freezing the system up. It is just an odd situation.


I have reset the PRAM, but other than that, I am not sure what else to do. I am looking for other answers, but thought someone on here might have an idea what I could do. Any ideas would be appreciated.


macOS High Sierra (10.13.3), null
