Hey Everyone,
I was wondering if you could help me figure out what's going on with my Macbook Pro (MBP C2D Pre-SR). A few weeks ago in Windows (via bootcamp), I experienced a weird problem, where the system would freeze for a few seconds and unfreeze (basically like the computer is stuttering). It would happen on and off. However, when I booted back into OSX, I never had those problems. However, now I'm starting to experience those same problems in OSX! It's making the computing so frustrating, because everything will freeze for about five seconds, several times a minute. I have NO idea what the problem is, so could someone PLEASE help me out?? It's so annoying and I honestly can't get anything done!
I couldn't find a better way to word my problems, however, I found someone who was having the same problem that described it much better:
Hello everyone, first time poster here. I have a weird problem with my computer performance that I am hoping to get help with.
I have found in the last few weeks my computer has been very slow, but not in a way that I am used to. Whenever I use certain applications, rather than responding instantly to any input I give, whether it is by keyoard or mouse, my computer frequently pauses/freezes for a second or 2 before continuing to run the application. For example, I may be playing chess and as I move my piece to the next square, it may freeze the piece in the middle of the move for a few seconds before continuing and completing the move.
During the "freezing period" I also notice that any input I give during this time gets read by the computer and applied after the "stutter" is over. For example, I may be typing a word quickly, then look up to notice that halfway through the word the computer froze, yet after a few seconds when it has resumed it goes ahead and writes the rest of the word that i had been typing during the stutter.
Hopefully I have explained this OK, but here is another clue that may help identify the problem.
