My Mac Pro is Frozen

My laptop freezes, I can't do anything. This has happened frequently in the last few weeks.

Thanks you,

  2. Log in: as same user
  3. Wait: 30 seconds
  4. Restart; your Mac
  5. Log in: as same user


B. See if your Hard drive is Failing:

What to Try:

  1. Boot: into Recovery Mode.
  2. Select: Disk Utility
  3. Select: the Drive
  4. Click: First Aid button
