Hi everyone.
I have MacBook Pro Late 2011 and i have problem with it.
When it's cold it often freezes, only hard reset helps, i know that problem somewhere in logic board, i changed hdd, ram. It doesn't freeze when it's warm, so i think problem is microcrack.
And i know that in windows 7 safe mode it doesn't freeze.

So, here's the questions:
1. What difference between Mac OS X safe mode and Windows 7 safe mode (besides resolution)? Why in Mac OS X safe mode it keeps freezing? Can i repeat Windows 7 safe mode in mac os x, so it won't freeze.

2. How can i disable equipment in Mac OS X? For example disable bluetooth, ati video chip (i have integrated intel hd) and other. (deleting kexts is dangerous, system can crash)

3. Is there a way to watch what is going on in OS? For example after sleep, if macbook cold, when i turn it on, i'll be able to move cursor for a second, before it freezes, can i watch what is going on in that second? (i know about log files, there's nothing)

So, asking for your help. Sorry for my language, i'm not a native speaker.
 
I have found way to make windows 7 stable (not to freeze) by disabling this drivers:
1) ACPI ALS Sensor Lower Filter Driver (acpials.sys)
2) Broadcom SD 3.0 Driver (bScsiSDa.sys)
3) Control Method Battery Driver (CmBatt.sys)
4) Processor Device Driver (intelppm.sys)
5) machaldriver.sys
6) rdpcdd.sys
7) rdprefmp.sys

How can i do the same thing to mac os x?
If you don't know, maybe you know forum where i could get answers?
 
Hi,

I'm having the same problem on a 2011 MacBook Pro running Windows 7.

I have found way to make windows 7 stable (not to freeze) by disabling this drivers:

2) Broadcom SD 3.0 Driver (bScsiSDa.sys)
3) Control Method Battery Driver (CmBatt.sys)

7) rdprefmp.sys

How can i do the same thing to mac os x?

1. Exactly where does one disable all these? Having trouble finding them in the Device Manager.

2. Maybe this all goes away if one upgrades to Windows 8?

Thanks.
