MacBook hangs after sleep

[frankystevens]

I'm at wits end. My Macbook goes beach ball for about 5 seconds. It happens about every 30 seconds. Every time I do anything, like click a web link, open a .txt. Rename a file. Any interaction will cause a beach ball for 5 seconds.

It seems to be associated with sleeping. If I restart the MacBook it will be fine. Then after it has been asleep it goes into this mode. I have started using Windows because it's so hard to work with.

Anyone else having this issue? Any one know how to fix it?

I have already reset the PRAM & SMC multiple times.

I am running a recent clean install of 10.9.2 witch has been updated to 10.9.3.

Below is info on the machine. If anyone has any suggestions I will be forever grateful.

This might help, some hits regarding the handoff driver needing updating. Even if not I would de-install any non-Apple drivers to diagnose.

 

[frankystevens]

Thanks for the reply.

I have done what was suggested. In fact I uninstalled Hands Off all together.

I am still having the issue.

Even scrolling this page makes it hang for 5 seconds before scrolling down.

 

[simonsi]

If that didn't work then I would try a fresh install.

 

[frankystevens]

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried a clean install a while ago but it still had the same issue.

Is there a chance it could be a hardware problem?

Well yes but you have associated it with Sleep which is predominantly a sw activity, as the hw is working before Sleep I can't think of any hardware that is post-Sleep specific...

How did you do your clean install?

 

[frankystevens]

Thanks for the reply.

I do a full reinstall. In recovery mode. It formats the drive then reinstalls OSX.

I will try it again some time soon though.

Good idea. Just make sure to have internet connection, as the recovery mode reinstall downloads OS X over Wi-Fi/ethernet, just saying.

Did you then (re)install any apps?

 

[frankystevens]

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, after that I reinstall all my apps, from a new download or an install file on an external.

Next time I will reinstall them one at a time to figure out if it's one of them.

Cheers.
