I have been recently affected by a post sleep freeze on my Macbook Pro (mid 2009 [5,5]). First off I have tried numerous recommends and fixes and I will list what I have done. Firstly yes, I have upgraded my MBP, here are the upgrades:
128mb Strontium SSD (OS drive, original HDD space) 500gb WD caviar blue hdd (where superdrive used to be) OS X Lion 10.7.4 4GB ram.
Issue: it's been working like a dream and I think it occurred when I upgraded to 10.7.4. When I close the book and I leave it for more than 10 minutes and open it up again it will freeze and balloon until its death. When I go to reset by holding down the power button and leave it off and restart the mac sound will chime but the apple will not always come up. So I have to power off and try again, this may happen multiple times until it will actually power up to the apple logo and then continue.
What I have tried: - PRAM - SMC resets - Disk utility and repair permissions and disks both online and using the dvd. - Found the ASD Dual Boot 3S132 pack for this machine and ran all the diagnostics, all were clear except test 72 which is known to be a false positive error in that version. - I reformatted the OS and reinstalled a fresh copy to minimise years of bloatware and installed junk.
After these, I have still got the sleep of death and I am at my wits end! Any help here guys?
