MacBook Pro Freezing My MacBook Pro just started acting up. The screen will flicker and I end up having to reboot my computer. I can still move the mouse around, but that's just about it. Would you have any ideas what the problem may be?
Suggestions:


Run Mac in recovery mode (keep holding ⌘ cmd + R on startup), then try to Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility.
As suggested in Mountain Lion Screen Freeze thread, try OnyX software which allows and to verify the startup disk and the structure of its system files, etc.
Run dmesg and check /var/log/system.log for more detailed errors.
Run Console app to check crash logs including backtraces if any.
Run newproc.d or iofile.d dtrace scripts to find anything suspicious (e.g. sudo newproc.d)
