Hello guys,

I've had my 15" MBP for 3 months now and I'm happy but ...

It freezes a lot! At least once a week. Today it froze three times, so I had to make a post. I searched on google for people who had the same problem but no...

It happens randomly. But most of the time I had a flash/youtube video playing. I also run Photoshop/Dreamweaver or Flash in the background. As well as Mail, Adium (and today a Torrent app (Transmission)).

I know it's quite a lot of apps but it doesn't happen with others' MBP.

What it exactly does?
It freezes the system ... but not fully. I can still move the cursor and when I pressed my brightness button, after a period of time it changed the brightness. So I can say it runs in extreme slow motion.

Some times it also shows weird colored squares.
I have a picture of this; http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5981/imag0258.jpg

NOTE;
when I let the stats window run in the foreground so I can keep an eye on it. It doesn't show extremely rare stats just before it "freezes". So it's not the case that flash player or somethin' just takes a chunk out of my CPU...
