Advice for MacBook Pro problem?

RE: Advice for MacBook Pro problem?
(January 28, 2012 at 4:55 pm)Tiberius Wrote: So for some reason my MacBook Pro has decided to mess with me and is freezing almost as soon as I log in. It boots fine, loads the OS ok, but once I log in it freezes.

I managed to get a (very very very slow) SSH connection to it, and the Dock was eating up 80% of the processing power. Killing it does nothing since it just spawns a new process.

Suggestions most welcome.

My mom's old, old G4 iMac was doing something similar a while back. I had to start it up while holding a button down (apple key?) to get it in it's recovery / repair mode. From there I rebuilt the permissions & scanned the hard disk. Seemed to fix it.

Of course it was a G4, may be completely different issue for an Intel Mac.
