os x freezes


Recommended Posts

Hello all...

A friend of mine has a MacBook Pro.. it seems like an older model. Anyways, its screen is cracked and I think this might be relevant to the issue that the computer is having.

Sometimes the computer freezes and you have to do a hard shutdown. When you turn it back on, you get a grey screen with an error in various languages asking you to restart. I googled mac boot options to see what's up, and I found out that if I pressed the option key, and selected the installation manually, I get to see the desktop fine. I don't understand why this is.

I tried helping her before and this is what I did:

Update to latest version of os x 10.5.7

Repaired permissions

Checked the Hard disk for errors

And other things that were in a front page post on how to keep os x clean. (thanks to the author)

anyways, os x says that X is hanging and the following is the report.

I don't know much about Macs and OS X in general.. my apologies.

What do I do when I boot in safe mode?

Because if I hold the Option key and select the drive to boot, i can get into the desktop and work. In fact, I made the original post and this post on the laptop. It's very wierd.
