By the way, all along, the internal HDD was fine (checked with Disk Utility).Īt this point, I was still trying to keep Mac OS X 10.7.5 (because of some softwares that might've not worked well if I had upgraded). This was why I started carefully backing up (by cloning and with time machine).
Using Firefox worked for a while, until I started getting the same crashes again. So I stopped using Safari and installed Firefox. The whole OS would freeze, then restart itself. When they started happening, the crashes usually seemed to be related to Safari. I'll try to describe the problem(s) and what I've done as clearly as possible (and, I've been troubleshooting for some time, so I hope you wouldn't find it a problem that my description below is quite long).
I'm still having the crashes, though, so I need to hear any suggestions on what this might be. I've been troubleshooting and trying to solve it since then, in between deadlines. Hi - I've been experiencing frequent crashes since about a year ago.
