Interestingly, my Windows partition works flawlessly.
#Macbook keeps freezing and restarting reddit for mac os#
One is 15gb for WinXP SP2, and the remaining space was left for Mac OS X.

I thought that it may follow that trend of working for a few hours before starting to freeze because of overheating so I tried "Fan Control". So I did the second clean reinstall but without reinstalling any new applications or importing old settings, songs, address cards, etc. After the first clean reinstall, I felt that the freezing may have been due to my reinstallation of several apps (a bunch of open-source apps that I use NeoOffice, OpenOffice, Burn, etc.). It frustrated me enough to first try an "archive and reinstall" then a complete, clean, re-install of Mac OS X (twice, actually). I don't recall this issue when I first purchased my Macbook (about 1.5 months ago). After a couple hours have passed, it'll start up again, then slowly decline into uselessness. This includes Finder, so I am unable to force quit most of the time. When it freezes, it will start with the frontmost application (typically iTunes or Firefox/Safari/Camino), then any other application I try to switch to will freeze as well.

It will run beautifully for a few hours, then for the next hour (or until I give up trying to care) it'll keep freezing to the point of requiring a manual reboot. The issue is that it freezes an unusually frequently amount of time.

I've got a Macbook it's running an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16ghz, 1gb ram, and 120gb hdd. This issue may very well belong to the hardware threads, but I suspect this to be a software issue.
