My MacBook Pro Retina is freezing a lot after upgrading to el capitan. I have clean installed the OS and it is still freezing. The pointer becomes unresponsive i can move it but cannot click anything and usually after a few seconds the entire system freezes for about 45 seconds.I have downgraded back to 10.10.5 Yosemite and the freezing is non existent. Is anyone having similar problems? My macbook is a 2.5Ghz 15 inch mid 2014 with nvidia.
 
Turn off automatic switching of the graphic cards
Have you experienced this issue on your Mac? And does turning off Auto switching Graphics cards work? As i don't want to go back to 10.11.1 and have this same issue. Thanks
