Hey guys, I have a MacBook Pro thy I got this past spring, and it's been giving me issues lately.
It will randomly go unresponsive when in doing normal tasks, forcing me to manually restart it. It happens when I'm in chrome more than doing other tasks.
Any ideas on what might be wrong one how to fix it?

It just locks up?

Have you searched your mac model and the issue on google?

Chrome fucks with computers, its weird. I've had chrome completely freeze my computer for 10 secs just going to a new page, its a cpu/ram hog for some reason. been thinking about using a different web browser for a bit.

had the exact same problem. just stop using chrome. use safari or firefox. still i think there is a better fix then this. went to the apple store, but thats all they said to do.

try opening disk utility and repairing/verifying permissions and then verifying/repairing your disk.

if that fails, look up resetting your pram.

try clearing your cache/browsing data on chrome

I am guessing this happens when you play shredsauce? Just delete unity web player and you should be fine. Picture of what happens if I try to play on my mac:
