I just bought a new 13" Macbook Pro yesterday, I got home started it up, connected to the internet, ran the software updates, and then put about 30gb of music, pictures and documents from my old pc onto the new mac. Then i was video chatting with someone on skype, and the video would freeze every 5 seconds, and then it got to the point where the whole computer would freeze, the beachball came up and i couldn't do anything, couldnt restart, nothing. So when that happens to my pc i just hold the power button down and it turns off, and i turn it back on. When i help the power button down on the MBP it turned off, and when i went to turn it back on, it would go to the white and grey apple icon background, and would have a spinning wheel, forever, until i held the power button down again, and it went off, i then reset the pram, and it came on after about 6-7 minutes, and now everything is horribly slow, i mean i cant even type a sentence without the beachball showing up. So i restarted the computer and it still took 7 minutes to come back on, whereas it only took 53 seconds to turn off and start back up before all this happened. so here i am now, with a slower computer that the windows machine it was meant to replace, im going to call apple when i get up in the afternoon, but what do you guys think could be wrong. Could it have gotten too hot from video chatting, and something happened on the inside, or was it from putting the files on there, or forcing it to turn off, any input would be greatly appreciated.
sorry for the bad grammar but its 5 in the morning an ive been up since 7am the previous day, almost 24 hours.
