Thierry37 and others who replied: thanks for your help. My system ran overnight with no freezing or any other issues. Looks like the older firmware on my SSD was the problem and updating it fixed it. It is blazing fast now. I'm very excited. As far as I can tell, everything works...

I think I may have fixed it. I updated my Crucial M4 SSD to the latest firmware. After doing that, my system has been on without freezing for 5.5 hours now, way longer than it ever did before. It is 4 pm now, and I'll see how it goes the rest of the evening and overnight. If it hasn't frozen...

I've been running 10.8.3 for about 5 hours now with no freezing, much longer than it has before. Knock on wood, but I think it may have been the Crucial M4 update that did the trick.

I finally had the time to run memtest, and the RAM was OK. I also updated the firmware on my Crucial M4 just in case. I'm going to let the computer run for a couple of hours now to see if it freezes again. If so, then my next step is to re-install 10.8.1 without updating to 10.8.3 to...

I guess I've always been lucky with RAM so didn't do it, but I will now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Linux ran fine without freezing. Is OS X more sensitive to bad RAM than Linux? I don't have any other DDR3 to test, but I will try running with only one stick at a time -- if one runs fine and one freezes, I'll know the one is bad. If both freeze, then I won't really know anything since...

I'm having the same problem but using HD4000 video. Has anyone found a solution?

I have the exact same problem. Have you found any answers?

I've reinstalled probably a dozen times in the last several days trying resolve this problem. Let me summarize. After everything is installed, the system seems to work beautifully for around an hour or so, and then it partially freezes. By partially freezing, I mean that I can select open...

I am writing to update what I've done. The first thing I did was to d/l Linux Mint and run it overnight. I ran it off of a DVD, so if there is an issue with my SSD, then I would not have encountered it. I don't think my SSD is the problem though. In any case, it ran without freezing, so I...

Thanks Thierry37. I decided to start from scratch and try again. 1) I erased and partitioned my SSD 2) I installed 10.8.1 3) I ran multi beast with moarfish's settings 4) I then installed the update to 10.8.3 -- I suspect that this is where things go wrong 5) Upon installing the...

No luck. I uninstalled Chrome and it still froze. This time, though, it appeared to be OK. I let it run overnight and when I went to it, I was able to click and scroll on some finder windows. But then it started to freeze, and I clicked on safari to open it, and by then I got the beachball...

It crashed again. This time it wasn't during a google chrome update but when chrome was trying to access my address book. So even though I really like using Chrome, I decided to uninstall it. If that fixes the problem then I'm happy to use safari.

I went through the console log and found that in most cases, the system freeze was preceded by an attempt by chrome to check for updates. I found a script that removes auto update for Chrome. I also switched my system definition to mac mini 6,2. No idea if that will help, but it doesn't...

So I updated to 10.8.3 and reinstalled multibeast. The good news is that audio works now. The bad news is that it still freezes. I have a crucial M4 SSD that I read somewhere that someone was having a problem with OSX freeazing with it and that they installed new firmware, and that fixed...
