The other option I have is to completely remove MacOsx and install Ubuntu as the one and only operating system. Is it possible to reinstall it without losing data and without having to repartition and reinstall Ubuntu and rEFIt? I'm thinking of reinstalling macosx but I fear of having to reinstall Ubuntu too. It's not that I cannot surf on the internet but after a while is more than likely that the system will freeze, this always happens whenever I introduce a USB device, sometimes as soon as I plug it, sometimes after a while. I installed macosx and ubuntu using rEFIt as the boot manager and ubuntu works perfectly but macosx keeps freezing whenever I introduce a USB device (Freecom HD, Lacie HD, USB modem.), connect to Internet using Camino, return from a sleep. I bought last summer so It's just 3 months old. The thing is I'm facing similar problems with my Macbook. I don't know whether you have already solved your problems, in case so I'd be grateful if you could post some solutions. While I can do with running off of battery power, that means I'm only working for te 4 hours that I have on battery. All the symptoms exhibited since the original post still apply.ДЄny insight on this issue would be GREATLY appreciated. I thought it might be a heat issue, so I'm running fan control, and it still doesn't work. I figure this is a hardware issue, because it ONLY happens when the AC adapter is plugged in.

#MACBOOK KEEPS FREEZING UP MAC OS X#

This was originally posted in the Mac OS X section, but I learned that this is a hardware issue: My Macbook is something of a lifeline to me I can't be efficient in either my studies or my work without my Macbook.

Please, please, please, any help would be so greatly appreciated. I installed the Apple Software Updates immediately after both clean installs, before doing anything else. I have tried Disk Utility countless times.

In fact, I had tried to write this post twice in Mac OS X before getting fed up with the spinning wait cursor and booting from Windows to write this. Interestingly, my Windows partition works flawlessly.

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.
