i have a macbook pro late 2008 (15.4 and 512) and it experiences random freezes. when i'm on vista 32 (via bootcamp). however there is no problem at all, when i'm with xp.

i have tried two methods, and was wondering if there are other alternatives to these:

1. enter safemode and disable the nvidia (not good for me, as i'm using an external display)

2. use RIVATUNER; a so-called overclocking method (not a fan of this as it will damage the hardware)


any other suggestions? thanks a lot in advance

You have 2 options:
- Wait for apple to release update and hope will remedy the problem.
- Bring to service center and let them ponder on the problem. Most likely won't help unless you get AppleCare agree to let you have a replacement unit.

you mean this is a hardware problem, rather than a driver? so switching to another MBP will fix the problem? thanks
