Thats why I'm still got OS10.5.8 on my '08 MBP. No issues what-so-ever.

What up JUKE,, Well I definitely shouldn't downgrade what version it came with, right? As you know I'm new to Mac computers so not sure what to expect. The complete OS lockups reminded me of Windows ME.

Sounds like the master boot files could be corrupt. Through the DOS command you could try doing a "fix mbr" or something like that.

Sudden power offs without properly shutting down windows usually causes these sorta things.

Plus, all of my gear gets its main power source from an APC-UPS so I don't have to deal with improper shut downs and whatnot.

Gotta have one of these or you'll keep dealing with those boot issues and some.

Controlled through its own software too (via usb of course).
