Well
My MBA would always randomly hang throughout its life. I would google stuff and people would always seem to have the same issue. Since it had an SSD, and well it wouldn't happen THAT often, I never really cared for it and figured it was a software issue or whatever.
Well after a little over 3 years of ownership, it's starting to occur more frequently. Maybe like once every 1.5 weeks or so. I never turn it off, so it's always going between sleep and non sleep mode. I figured that was the reason I got a laptop with great battery life, and a SSD.
I decided to run AHT for fun, and it completely froze during an extended test. The trackpad stopped being responsive for an hour so I just hard reset it. It's in the process of running a "normal" test that would take 3 minutes or longer.
It's been on it for an hour now, but the mouse is responding.
"Test in progress
Pass Number: 1
Total Time Testing: 48 seconds"
@_@
I guess there is something wrong with my hardware, or perhaps all along and it's just finally starting to really fail on me.
Do crashed results still get logged somewhere? I have never done troubleshooting on my Mac so I am confused on what to do other than to download and run Memtest and make an appointment at the Apple store
-edit- I am running latest update of Yosemite, but I think OS shouldn't matter if it's doing the Apple Hardware Test and it fails there
-edit2- The standard test just hanged as well
-edit2- memtest passed many times, noooo my greatest fears. Must be logicboard related
