Hello,
I am having trouble with MacBook Pro 13 inch, Mid 2012. It was not working for some time and I was unable to get it to start and login. I recently replaced the motherboard and updated with 2 SSD drives by replacing the superdrive with a SSD using the conversion from OWC. There is 8 BG of 1600 mHz DDR3 RAM and processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7. It is running on 10.12.16 Sierra as it will not allow me to currently update to high sierra.
The second drive does not seem to work, I was able to get it work for a period but it may be corrupted. The main hard drive the 500 GB SSD works normally.
My problem is after replacing nearly everything hardware wise. The computer will work normally and then occasionally have errors where it says I have no memory available despite having 341 GB remaining on my hard drive. It will not allow me to save any files to my computer nor will retain bookmarks/reading list on Safari. If I restart it, it will work normally but will not have retained anything from the time I was working on it once it starts with the errors saying there is no system memory. No information is able to be retained. It may work for a long time or a very short period before this starts again. It is pretty frustrating. Sometimes I will restart it and it will not be fixed and if I restart again it will go back to normal.
It also has errors with the user profile being corrupted and no applications working which I have done multiple fixes which work and then after some time it will happen again. I found a fix today which I hope will last and have setup a separate administer account in case it does not.
I am a poor graduate student and am trying to keep this computer as functional as possible for as long as possible because I simply can not afford a brand new computer. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does this sound like more of a software or a hardware issue with the main hard drive? Is there any way to determine that?
Thank you in advance for any advice!!
