MacBook Air Core Shutdowns and Freezes
Well, maybe I’m hard on hardware, but have four problems with my MacBook Air right now in order of problems: h2. “Intermittent Freezing”:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1415343&tstart=0 (aka “Core Shutdown”:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1445521&tstart=1) Originally I thought that this was because my hard disk has corruption problems.
