This is also why tests done at the factory may not have caught the problem components either. The freeze doesn't show itself in any predictable way (several people here have tried, me included) and any number of parts could be the guilty party with the same effect. The type of freeze depends on what the system was doing at the time the defect showed itself. (Sorry, big words, but they've been on TV, so hopefully not beyond anyone's vocabulary.)Ī relatively small number of systems have a defect that causes an unpredictable freeze. Just as there are many causes and types of causes of something like an animal sneeze or a car backfire, so it is with system freezes.Īfter examining what happened with my own machine, and reading the reports of others here and elsewhere I'm "convinced beyond a reasonable doubt" that the "circumstantial evidence" supports my expert guess at what's happened. "Freeze" is a generic term for when a system stops responding to input (keyboard, mouse, network) and sometimes the screen output stops or gets trashed. Anything else is a distraction, start your own thread.* *This thread about the 2010 i5 and i7 MBP 15" and 17", and total system "freezing". That said, I'll try and be brief and use short words:
I'm a customer who just happens to know more than a little about the technologies and troubleshooting, thanks to a 20+ year career in the industry. I don't work for Apple, any related supplier, own stock or anything else. None of the following is official in any capacity. Seriously, people have spent over $1k on their machine and this thread in no way helps them fix the freeze problem. the only way this can be marked as answered is if people can fix this problem with the "solution" 99.9% of the time. It seems that a fanboy just got upset with so many people trashing apple on this for not responding and could not handle his precious Apple being trashed. How can this topic be "answered"? People are still having problems like crazy and there seems to be no clear way of making this "freeze" go away, officially. if you wish to remind everyone how much money you've paid, go to and share this valuable information there. most certainly report if you have migrated an old system on top of your new mac. also if you run gfxcardstatus or any similar utilities. If you report a freeze, please report your setting of automatic graphics switching. but i did see a flash of garbled graphics in a Flash applet I had left behind other windows. it certainly burned my fingers when i touched underneath.
the machine could have burned the table (400% cpu). I am pretty certain this is not a temperature related issue as I ran "yes > /dev/null" (100% cpu) in 4 separate terminals on a brand new i5/15" antiglare high-res at the apple store.

windows drivers are no priority at apple. # if a freeze/crash occurs in windows and not on osx, please wait for a software update. # please do not post if your machine is not a 2010 model and/or does not use the nvidia 320/330 chips I am shocked at how watered down and slightly random this discussion has become.
