On public beta 3 and 4 (the GM) I get a freeze once every 2 days or so. Is anyone else experiencing this?
 
Yep, me too — and some other people as well. Seems to be a known bug (according to Apple) though.
 
Is anyone of you running Sophos?

Nope.

I thought it was in the last beta (had freezing on PB 3), but for this being a GM candidate, freezing seems like it shouldn't be present. Retina MBP or what are you using?

I have experienced this since DP6 or so. My config is very similar to yours (I have a lower CPU). Hope that they will fix the issue until the release.
 
Funny thing is, my iMac worked flawlessly until Mavericks. Mavericks worked flawlessly, too, but once in a week it would just freeze and would require hard reboot. Now in Yosemite everything is back to normal. Must be some Apple magic :D
 
I've had freezes from PB1 to PB3 but seems like PB4 fixed the issue for me.

PB4 feels fast, fluid, snappy and more stable than previous PB's. Quite satisfied with it.
 
i am being freezing for about 10s then the computer automatically restart.

You guys use safari? I've been keeping activity monitor open watching memory in the background as I use my computer to see if I have a problem. I noticed that Safari with 2 macrumors pages and one netflix page was up to 2 gigs of memory. Restarted safari and it's down to 200 mb.

So yeah, wondering if a safari memory leak is my problem.

yes, all the freezes occur when using Safari. :(
 
I have freezes, but only in safari, last about 10 seconds with a spinning beachball then back to normal.

I don't experience any memory leaks with Safari. Not to mention, a Safari memory leak can't freeze your system — most it can do is slow it down to a crawl. Its definitively a kernel space issue. My bet is on the graphics driver.

I did experience this one, but a restart fixed that for me. That same time I was having the problems, I wasn't able to sleep my computer, but again, a restart fixed that as well.

edit-just kidding, seeing that as well...

Hm. Well then I imagine I have a couple issues, as safari was definitely using more ram than normal, but a graphics driver would make sense with 3 of us having the same laptop.

Same here though my beachballs tend toward 20-25 seconds; been that way with every PB release. Also, Mail crashes a lot which it never did with MaverX.
 
Saw my first "out of memory" error message on a Mac today. All of a sudden I'll get this window pop up and it tells me to force quit stuff because the machine is out of memory.

I checked memory usage in Activity Monitor and it showed Mail using 40 gigs!

First time I've had issues w/10.10 and I've been using it since Beta 1.
 
Just two hours ago my mac air froze, then restarted after about a minute or so.

I am on PB 5 and did a clean install with PB 3/update to PB4.
