I have a 13" MBP, purchased end of 2011, running OSX Lion 10.7.4. I like to browse with Google Chrome. I can run it for several hours, but then it randomly freezes the whole computer. I have to shut down using the power button. This has been going on for months, but I am just now asking for help. I am sure that this has been dealt with in other discussions, but I haven't found anything about a MBP or whether there has been a resolution/ workaround, besides going back to Safari. I have seen that it has been recognized as a problem with the Mac Air, and there is another post about a similar problem with an iMac.
1. What other threads have dealt with this?
2. Have Google or Apple offered a solution to this problem?
3. Does Mountain Lion have the same vulnerability with Chrome?
4. I'm sure that manually turning my computer off has left lots of fragmented files on my HD. Is this a problem? Does the OS clean them up? Should I do something to clean the fragmented files from my HD?
Thanks for any suggestions and help.
